I am attempting to build my first system. With little prior knowlage, other than ive installed my own video car and power supplie in the past. Well here the jucy stuff let me know what u thinkl. The video card was purchased off of craigslist and was new in the box...what was he thinking , also this was the reason i decided to build rather than purchase a complete system. I couldnt quite afford complete systems with specs i wanted, not even from a b grade retailer like cyberpower.I built this strictly for gaming, ive always liked single gpu set ups(just my preference).Oh and i purchased everything from frys.
