Hey everyone!
This is a build I have put together, well the parts list at least. I would appreciate any comments, advice, or even just general reviews, as to if these will all work together well.
Things such as compatibility, areas where I can shave some money while not losing much performance, etc.., would be greatly appreciated.
The prices listed are from Newegg.com as of 6/26/08 and are final prices after instant rebates.
This computer will be used for gaming, media, music production, video editing, and general multi-tasking/everyday use.
I need it to last me a few years as well.
Thanks!
