Hello Community,
I previously posted a forum about helping me build a gaming pc. After (more) countless hours of reading and watching youtube clips, I tweaked around some things and add a little touch of my own. This will be my first built computer and I plan on buying the parts by the end of this month or beginning of next month. Your input and changes would be very much appreciated. I'm not looking for top end tech, but quality and reliability is important. I'm willing to sacrifice the SSD for another HD to save money. Factoring in "buying at the store" then online would also help, but not important.
Summery of what I would like to have:
Of course if you can find places where I can save money, it would be nice. Here's what I've picked out for the build.
