I'm completely new at PC affairs and this is the first build I have completed, although I have done a fair amount of research on this one. The build is basically $700 dollars, but I need a monitor and operating system to go along with it. Does anyone have any advice on this build? (Better price alternatives, compatibility issues, etc.)
