Hello, I am looking to build the best computer that I can for under around $2500-$2800. It will be mostly for gaming, and I have a good idea of what parts I need and want, but as this is my first build, I could use some help just clarifying that these parts are all compatible and up-to-date with each other.
Thanks for any input.
