I do not do a lot of heavy gaming however I would like this PC to be able to withstand that possibility if I change my mind afterwards. This is my first build so any suggestions or reasonings would be very much appreciated.
Approximate Purchase Date: This week if possible
Budget Range: around $700
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com
Country of Origin: US
Parts Preferences: Due to budget i'd like to stick to AMD. Other than that I have no preferences.
Additional Comments: I would like the computer to be relatively quiet and cool.
