I am aiming to reduce this to 800$, or try and increase the performance from what I am currently spending..
Sorry for repeatedly editing, trying to include as much info as possible.
Before anyone flames me for making a terrible machine or something, I am saying in advance I have no experience with these kind of things. I am kind of hoping to use this as a building block to go off of. To be honest, I am not even sure if this is all compatible with each other, or if I need to add anything else? If possible, I'd also like to trim any extra dollars off this as possible. I'm thinking the processor and graphics card I chose might be a bit too pricey.
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
