Hey all,
I'm thinking of building a gaming computer sometime in the near future for around $800. I was looking on newegg for parts, and there are so many different components/companies, that I figured maybe someone could help me narrow it down.
I am personally an AMD/ATI man, but I'm asking you: if you had $800, what would you get and why?
Heres what I came up with. Anyone have a similar setup or care to comment?
