Hello guys,
How are you? I am planning to build my first desktop and I really need your help. These are the parts I have in my list. Please, tell me if I need to change something, add or remove anything. Budget for desktop only is between 4500-5500.
I am also thinking about buying the Alienware Area 51, and I would really appreciate if you guys tell me if it is better to build my own desktop or just go with the pre-built one. Thank you.
