Hey all,
I've been working on picking out parts for this build for quite some time now and I'm trying to keep it between $800-$1000, or even less if possible. Originally it was going to be around 700$ but I keep adding parts and racking the price up! So what I need to know is will this system work for what I would like to do.
Main system uses: Gaming at 1080p+, Over clocking, Using PCSX2 to upscale PS2 games that I already own (very cpu heavy, thus the over clocking).
Main concern: Temps! I'm worried about enough airflow in such a small case, especially if I'm over clocking the CPU and GPU.
