Hello everyone,
I've been on this site before. I read and commented on somebody else's gaming build and now it's time to get some feedback from you guys if you can please spare just a little bit of your time!
I just want to check if I'm doing anything stupid (incompatible hardware, etc.) before I drop a 1000 dollars on all this circuitry!
Basic info:
Gaming Build
Budget ~$1000 (excluding monitor)
I'm a college student in the US and will buy everything online.
I've already bought a monitor and case. (I saw a good deal or two...)
Already got an OS.
I don't plan to overclock and I'm not sure about aftermarket cooling.
Here's everything with current prices:
CASE (already bought):
Antec Three Hundred Gaming Case External 3 X 5.25; Internal 6 X 3.5 2*Usb2.0
