Questions
- 1. I'm not familiar with the case and many of its features. Is airflow good?
2. I am also not familiar with the CPU Cooler. Is it ok for the 8320? I might have skimmped on this one and flew past it as I was building :/
3. He mostly plays League of Legends, TERA, or CS:GO half the time.. Since the card is fairly new and there are not very many benchmarks out, what type of FPS might he be getting?
4. Is the power supply enough for this build? I rushed this a bit and was unsure for many things but will this PSU be ok for this system and other upgrades such as a 970 later on?
5. Was the motherboard a steal at $64? Or could I have done better with it?
