I am planning on doing my first gaming build (last time was 2001) and after a lot of research and advice it looks like I have come up with this below. However, I still need help!
Is everything compatible? Do I need more fans than the Cooler Master offers (I may over clock the i5)? Is there anything I can do to improve, the aim is to stay around $1000? but play all the latest games and not upgrade over the next couple years
I appreciate all advice, so if you see something I need to change, thanks! budget around $1000
