this is my first system i have ever built so i am at a bit of a loss when it comes to the power supply. i was actually hoping someone here might be able to point me in the right direction.
i am also looking for some direction with the graphics card. the one i found seems like it will get me through the next few years but if i am wrong i would like to know,
i may have forgotten to ask about something but i really just need to get the ball rolling and the only people i can ask are those of you online, I hope you can help, thanks.
