Hello,
I've been trying to build a high-end gaming computer and after around a week and a half reading reviews and checking up on stores, I thought I kind of had what I wanted more or less outlined. Yet somehow I'm still confused when I start thinking in the possible alternatives.
Since many of the reviews I most liked are on this site, I thought this could be a good place to start looking for help. So here I am.
This is the machine I'm considering right now (updated as the thread goes on). I will really appreciate all advice.
