Hello community, this is literally my first post and build ever. I just signed up 3 minutes ago and I'm hoping you guys/gals can help with my first computer build.
Now I just turned 23 and I always wanted to build a gaming computer. I have 2 jobs so money isn't that much of an issue, but it's always an issue. Anyways, I just bout the i5 4670k and I plan to over-clock eventually. I want to play Dark Souls 2 and Watch Dogs at a nice frame rate with a high resolution.
Please criticize and help me out as much as you can. If I need to spend $30-60 more to really enjoy the games than I'm all for it (nothing higher than $60 please) but if it can be brought down in price, that's even better. I will reply almost instantly to your posts so please help a brotha out.
