Hi guys
I've always bought my PC in my local computerstore. I was planning on doing it again for
my next one but after some reading I decided to build my own. Now I'm a total newcomer to this.
I've never done it and I want to do it right. I'm planning on using it as a gaming PC. Making the switch from consoles to PC. I've looked up some parts and builds and I decided to go with the following:
This is what I had in mind. I'm planning on getting an SSD once I've got the money for it.
Will this work? Are there parts where I should spent more on? Should spend less on?
Any help and advice would be really helpful!
I'm also wondering if I could reuse parts from this PC?
You can find the model and specs here.
If there are any questions at all feel free to ask.
Thanks in advance!
