Gents,
I came up with the build below using cyberpowerpc.com. I'm not a hardware expert by any stretch, particularly when it comes to gaming components, and need some advice. What do you think of the build? Am I overweight one set of components at the expense of another? I am OK with the price but probably can't go any higher, so extras will likely require a tradeoff. Also, I'm not thrilled about building instead of buying pre-built but could be swayed if the cost advantage was sizeable. What would you expect...$100? $200?
Thanks for the help.
