Additional Comments: Would like a solid state drive in addition to a hard disk drive in order to load the OS and a couple of select programs quickly upon startup.
Why Are You Upgrading: Years ago I bought myself a decent laptop for school purposes and so I could start playing modern PC games. However, said laptop is now outdated, and cannot/ will not be able to run some of the games coming out that I wish to play, namely Shadow of Mordor, Dragon Age Inquisition, and The Witcher 3. Furthermore, I'm experiencing frequent display driver crashes, often without recovery, while playing games I've been playing for years, such as League of Legends. Recently, BSODs have been occurring as well. Thus I am now planning to build a desktop computer with a focus on gaming. I should mention that this will be my first attempt at building a computer, and I'm inexperienced when it comes to computer hardware.
