Looking to build a good gaming PC. I've been out of PC gaming for about 10 years and I am a bit overwhelmed with building my own.
I'd rather stay closer to $1500 but could go as high as $2000 if needed.
I'd be playing games like Battlefield 3, Skyrim, Far Cry 3, etc.
Any help is appreciated.
This is what I made just based off reviews and a few other builds I saw. If anyone could build a similar one performance wise for less $$$ that would be awesome.
