Hey guys! So first off, lemme get this disclaimer out of the way.. (I'd like to apologize before-hand for probably not presenting my information in any sort of way that is acceptable to the mods, such as navigating the forums isn't my specialty :\) Okay, so like the title says, this will be my first computer build, and I don't want to muck it up, as I'm not experienced with part-picking, so I decided to post it here first; if there are any problems, concerns, suggestions, please don't hesitate to throw them at me Thanks!
