Hi All,
Was looking for some expert eyes to make sure this build - my first - looked okay and balanced. In terms of price, it currently sits at the very top end of my budget, and I don't really have any room to go up. So if there's any way I could shave a few dollars here and there without sacrificing performance, I'd love to hear advice/suggestions.
It's going to be a machine for productivity/office suite/multi-tasking, lighter statistical work/programming, consuming media, and gaming.
Thanks for looking.
