Hello! I am building a budget gaming PC that will also be used for simple video viewing (Hulu) and web browsing/schoolwork. Games I want to play are mainly Source games (tf2, cs:s etc.) and gta IV. Bioshock comes with the GPU so that too . I also plan to run Windows 8 (don't try to convince me to use windows 7 instead :p) The parts I have chosen are here http://pcpartpicker.com/p/JoMa , but i also listed them below. Do you like it? Any recommended changes that wouldn't drive the cost up a lot? Any ways to cut costs but still be as good? Thank you so much! :)
