ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: This is the first PC I’m trying to build. I am a student who uses it for general purposes but would also like to be able to play games, specifically starcraft 2 on it. I was trying to build a balanced PC that would do this. I got these suggestions from friends and wanted to know if they would work out and make sense, or if there were better combinations out there. Thank you!
