Hi, I'm planning on purchasing a new computer build primarily for gaming that will be still viable with upgrades in the future. Hoping to get some tips on improvements (budget, performance, redundancies etc) before I order everything. This is a complete new system build meaning I'll be ordering everything including monitor, speakers, etc. Thanks!
Note: I'm mainly looking for improvements in terms of cost, trying to reduce the price without sacrificing too much performance.
