Hey
I'm looking for advice on a build, especially to know if the entry level CPU and mobo might be bottlenecks to the GPU ?. I want to be able to casually play games like Rome 2, far cry 3, do office work, and some light video editing.
The prices i specified are the ones i found at my retailers in swiss francs, as i live in switzerland. The prices tend to be about 10% higher than in the US.
