Additional Comments:
Here we go. 1st time building a PC. Had a Dell XPS for around 8 years and recently it broke (never upgraded it). I'm guessing its the motherboard. But either way I've been thinking about getting a new PC for months and now is the perfect time. I did a lot of research and I will follow newegg's how to build a PC video. It looks pretty easy.
Anyways..please rate my build.
