Sub $1000 gaming pc, first time builder, need the OK
I just made a newegg wishlist of parts for my dozer-ready, under $1000 dollar gaming build. This will be my first attempt at building a computer.
I really would appreciate if the community could look over and double check to make sure everything works together perfectly. (e.g. enough fan headers, psu works with components, enough dimensions to fit components etc...)
Also I was wondering if the ddr3 1866 ram I have selected will work at that speed with the phenom ii 955 out of the box... Thanks!
