Hello everyone,
I've never built a computer before, though I feel it's time for a major upgrade (plus I've always wanted to build my own computer). Now I've been checking out various websites while researching parts for my new computer, and I was hoping for feedback from some of you experienced computer-builders.
This is what I've come up with so far:
