I have been wanting to buy a new computer for some time now and with the help of my friend, came up with a custom design. I think there are better deals but couldn't find any. I am looking to play some games (Skyrim, COD, etc.) and would like a computer that is fast, quiet, and efficient. My current monitor is 1920x1080 and I already have a 500GB slave drive. Any suggestions and tweaks would be appreciated. Thanks!
