Hello everyone. After much research and some great feedback from this website, HERE IS MY FINAL BUILD. I am going to order this on Friday.
Background. I want a system that has great graphics for video games, I download a lot of music, burn a lot of movies, do schoolwork for college, plan on overclocking, and plan on adding another video card (Christmas present). Please give some feedback or any suggestions. Thanks for everything everyone.
