Additional Comments: thinking to avoid the velociraptor HD and maybe buy an ssd later to reduce costs. Not sure which GPU will work better or if theres an nvidia card that will work better. Also the ram not sure which one is the best, amazon doesnt have ripjaws in stock atm. Any other suggestion on the build to reduce costs/improve performance is appreciated.
