I would love for the build to last a few years before needing to upgrade every part. So I'll defiitely go for throwing out some more cash (not over $1,000 thoguh) to get it where i need to get it. Also my first computer build so i pretty much don't know too much on what I'm doing besides what info im picking up reading through some forums here. A friend found me a build I was hoping you guys could look at and let me know what you think.
