Hey everyone,
I been out of the loop for about 6 months so I am looking for advise for a good gaming comp. I don't know a ton about all this anyway. I did some research and decided on this build. Hope I don't look too much like a noob with the build but I would rather ask you guys them waste money. I mainly want to play mmorpg's. I want to a bang for my buck system. I doubt I will be over clocking anything but crossfire is an option down the road. . Any advise is welcome. Prices are from Newegg.
