Hey guys, I've been in need of a new computer for several months now and decided to build one myself I'm by no means new to computers I just haven't built one in the past and wanted to get a second opinion on my build before I went out and spent any money. I filled out the little new build format thingy below and below that is a link to my current build Thanks in advance for taking the time to help me out.
