well this was my first time building a computer. after alot of research i figured id save quite a bit of money doing it myself and my uncle's a techy and he said PC's are pretty plug and play now as far as building. this system was built for FSX and FSX runs quite nicely on it.

Very hot gaming build. Could use some cable management. Hang the cpu power cable on the exhaust fan & tie it down.
