Hey everyone. I'm looking to take advantage of deals this weekend to order parts for my first PC build. I'm looking to do some light gaming with it. Mostly strategy type games like Civ, but I'll probably mix some shooters in there every now and then. I was hoping someone could look at this build I mocked up and give any recommendations. I'd like to keep it around $700 without peripherals.
