Hey guys (and girls), I'm Ryan and I just turned 15. I have been doing research on desktops and trying to make the best one for under $2,000. The only two things I really want in the build is The ABS Canyon 695 case (OR Cooler Master Stacker 830 Evo) and the EVGA GeForce GTX 295 (OR GTX 285). As for the other parts I have no clue. I have made so many lists and I can't decide. So could you all help me out.
