Hi,
After some help from the community I've decided to order a custom PC from ibuypower tentatively for gaming (or another site if you can recommend a better prebuilt or custom pc).
But I need help telling whether the parts I have are good enough for my purposes and whether I should consider different ones than I have listed. I'm open to any suggestions but I will not build it myself as the way I will be doing this will save me money over building it myself (it's complicated). I'm looking for a PC that should be able to run games at their highest possible settings right now and last about 5 or 6 years before needing a new computer or upgrades.
Thanks in advance.
