Hi Everyone!
I currently am putting together a new system that I plan on purchasing this week coming. It's been a while since I've done this so I was hoping for some good direction. I have spent a good bit of time reading reviews and picking out parts so I don't think im too far off. Any advice is appreciated. In addition to below I have found an 800watt power supply for about $75.00. I have not picked out a cd/dvd rom yet so some direction there would be nice.
My main goal of this system is to play starcraft 2 on ultra settings and do normal web browsing. Is this system total overkill for that?
I dont mind spending the money but I wouldn't mind saving some too!
Look forward to hearing from you!!
