I did forget to mention that I’m not that crazy about the screen quality or brand (the same applies for keyboard/mouse as well) as long it lets me play me in acceptance levels. My issues are the FPS/latency and the quality of the gaming overall which always been hunting me on games like World of Tanks and BF. Thanks a lot.

This offers the chance to overclock in the future if you add a heat sink.

Can you please add the OS, WI-FI /Calbe Net cards, sounds cards on top of this list
Thank you for your effort. I’m cool with your built in general but I’m not really getting that strong confidence on the motherboard and GPU. As I wrote earlier I play World of Tanks game a lot, which is notorious and hard on AMD gpu’s. But again I might work my way around this build and satisfy my confidence. Thanks again.
