Since Fallout 4 can't run on my PC, I have finally decided to build my own. I've been researching this topic on and off for a few months now, but not being able to play this game was the straw that broke the camel's back. So I have compiled a list of the parts that will be making up this PC.
I was wondering if anyone could give me some pointers. I think my build is alright. My only concern is if the case is big enough to hold the parts. I'm trying not to spend more than $1200 on this. I guess I could of copied someone else's build, but that just seemed like cheating.
