also might want to overclock at sometime ty for the build

BadActor · Feb 12, 2016

The build I gave you has the option to be overclocked. As far as the SSD goes, I promise you, after you have one, you will never go back to running your OS from a standard HDD. It's the best upgrade you can make to any PC.

thanks will be looking at that guide do u know of any good monitors to go with for dual screening

BadActor · Feb 12, 2016

If you can catch these Dell's on sale, they have good picture/color quality and a very thin bezel. Otherwise, something like the ASUS VS239H. The bezel won't be nearly as thin though.
