Hey all
i was looking at the digital storm vanquish 2 level 4 and was thinking if I'm gonna be spending that much money could i just build something better. This would be my first build but I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty. This would just be for a tower. Anyways here what i came up with... p.s. (i would like to keep the budget around $800 to $1300 and be able to play most games on high to ultra settings)

First off, i would like to say "Thank You CTurbo" for taking time to reply. There's two things i would like to know will this be able to overclock or do i really need to head down that road and will this beat my xbox one in graphic and performance wise... (was disappointed with the console this time around)
