Finally, I can afford a decent gaming computer. This is a custom build I put together on the Maingear website. Not necessarily buying from them, but the site was great for comparing components. I'm looking to spend roughly $3000, a little less would be nice, slightly more might be worth it for the right rig. I don't need ultra settings or 4k resolution, but I'd like to be able to play new games at 60 FPS.
Do these components seem to match well? Are there parts that will slow the rest down, or that are unnecessarily powerful? I suspect that the memory and power supply of this build are the weakest links, but I'm a complete idiot when it comes to computers so I could use some advice. Thank you in advance.
