Recently I've been wanting to play some games on my pc like star citizen (I know it's not out) and some more demanding games. The problem is that I have an extremely poor computer now (it has a btx motherboard, enough said). So I'm putting some money into at least getting a decent gaming computer. Depending on how fast I get the money I may look into a new display and keyboard. I need feed back on if I'm doing this right or not. Thank you.
