Hey everyone,

It's been a long wait, but it's finally time for me to build my new rig!. I'm purchasing most (if not all) the parts at microcenter this weekend. IF THEY PRICE MATCH (they said it's manager-dependent)

I was wondering if there's anything I'm missing, or any recommendations you all may have. The budget is fairly flexible, but I'd like to keep it under $2,000 USD. I've been away from forums and whatnot for about a month and change, so has anything new happened, released since then? If not, then let me know your thoughts and opinions! Looking forward to hearing from you all. Thanks for being such a great community!
