I am planning on building my own computer, and have selected these parts.
I plan on using this computer primarily for gaming.
I also want it to be future proof, and have the ability to upgrade components as time goes on.
I will be using a currently owned EVGA NVIDIA Geforce GTX 570 1GB GPU, and plan on utilizing SLI in the future.
Also note that I would like to have a minimum of 8 USB ports on the computer, all of the inputs are USB 2.0, but in the future could be 3.0.
If there are any cables or adapters that are needed or do not work, please inform me!
Please keep in mind room and spacing, I have had troubles in the past with motherboards having obstructions in the way of the GPU.
I would like to keep this build around $1,500, and $2,000 max.
If you have a recommendation, suggestion or find something wrong, please tell me, and explain why. It's good to know, but better to understand why it is like that
