Yes, this summer I'm going to do my first build. since I've only experienced video & online guides i haven't gotten any 1st hand experience on builds, (Except for a Ram and Video Gard upgrade on my current retail system.) So I've just been gathering my shopping cart and getting it ready for this summer. The problem is i just need to make sure i have the right brands and equipment to play most games on high. My Goal in this thread is to fill in my "???" marks, gather any hardware or tools that i'm missing, and configure my list so that i would have a good setup ready for the summer. This may be fun for alot of you =].
