Hey I've been messing around with different carts full of goodies on TigerDirect and I'm trying to get a pretty decent gaming build that's up to date and will last me a while. Budget is about $600 before monitor. I'm planning on using this build for gaming, monitor would probably be 1680x1050 res. So my question: Can anyone find something wrong with this build or anything that I could improve? The main things I want is a quad core processor, 4 gigs of ddr3 ram, and a decent GPU.
