Okay guys a little background. I use to play pc games on a old vaio when CoD1 came out, and css was popular. About the time cod4 came out and my computer wouldn't play it, I bought a 360, we'll I hate consoles. Controllers just don't work for me. So eventually I stopped gaming completely. Well recently I got back into the gaming scene one xbox and still can't stand it. So I'm going back to my roots, pc. I am going to build my own. I'm a mechanic, building a pc can't be as hard as rebuilding a motor, right? WRONG. I don't know anything about what I need. So I'm coming here for hopefully some help. I filled out this template yall had posted, hopefully it will help.
