What do you guys think of this build? I'm on a budget of around $1300 for the core system. I'm a pretty big AMD fanboy, but I'm not opposed to an i7 system.
I do know that Tiger direct rebates are near impossible to get.
This is completely for gaming, not much else. I like to write, but I don't think this will have trouble with microsoft word.
I plan on building this pc in February.
Anyway, Please critique and guide me. I've been building pcs for awhile and fell out of the loop of the computer world, so I've got no idea what's really good and bad right now, at least to the fullest extent.
