Building my first system. Reworked a bunch of parts based on suggestions from you guys.
I want a quiet, pretty fast system that can play League of Legends, social media games, music, stream videos and handle whatever I throw at photoshop.
The budget is about $1300. I already own the CPU, memory and Windows 7pro. I'm a big ASUS mobo fan so if suggesting a different one please keep it in that family.
Video card -- always been a NVidia kind of gal so I'm having issues picking a card. In my budget range, >$250 it seems I get more bang going radeon. Suggestions?
Read a lot about PSUs - hope I ultimately picked a decent one.
Sorry if I have too many questions but I'm a newbie.
Thanks for any suggestions!
