I'm building a gaming rig for the first time. I wanted it to be compact yet powerful out of the gate, but with a lot of room for upgrades in the future as well. AND...I'm wanting to do this on the cheap. My budgets around $1200 so I did a good job of staying within my means, but I wouldn't mind going as cheap as possible without sacrificing too much power. Any advice on any changes I could make to make this build more efficient/cost-effective would be appreciated :D
