Hey there. This is my attempt at a first build for a computer to upgrade the dell dimension 2350 I'm using. While anything would certainly be better, I'd really like to put together a great pc that can handle any game I throw at it and do some web design and graphics editing, well into the future.
I've been putting this together through research and responses I've seen to other builds, but since I've never built a computer before, I'd appreciate any advice those more knowledgeable or experienced can offer.
I'm planning to add a second monitor as well as running a second video card within the next 6 months. The build (hopefully) reflects that.
