Im kinda a hardware noob, this is going to be my first build. I saw damrics AMD build and think it fits what i want pretty well. I have a $600 budget, ill do mostly gaming with the pc. Would like to order everything with in the next week. I have a monitor, and can buy a O/S pretty cheap being a student at my schools computer store. I was going to drop the SSD I dont think I really need one. So I was wondering if there is any that I should be aware of with this build? Ive been told AMD is a good choice at this price point. If someone could look over it and just give me a second opinion on it, that would be awesome. Also anyone knows of equivalent parts that are currently on sale that would make this build cheaper/better id really appreciate it.
