Hey fellas,
It has been 4 years since my 1st build and unfortunately my computer can't seem to run the new games. So, with that in mind I've come up with a prospective build and I'd appreciate your input. My initial goal was an updatable system with a cost of less than $1200. So, tell me what you think.
