Hello, I'm building my second PC for heavy gaming at 1440p (Star Citizen) and work (level editing with Unreal Engine 4), and I was wondering if my build is good.
I already have my case, which I'm recycling from my old build, my 1Tb hard drive, also reused, and another 2 sticks of ram, making for a total of 16 gbs.
