I added the following list to a newegg cart from another post, which i lost the link to. I really don't know anything about this stuff, but I'd like to learn eventually. For now, please just let me know what my best approach is for a solid home computer build. My main goal is to run future games, particularly sc2, on high graphics settings without compromising gameplay.
Also, what about wireless cards? I haven't seen them included in any other posts, but I made the mistake with my current computer of not considering this, and my internet connection has been horrible with this cheap portable thing.
Thank you so much for all the help and feedback you can give. I don't even know what questions to ask. I'm really excited about this project though, and I thank you all for reading my first post in this forum. I'm looking forward to the community's response!
