Hey guys, thought I would put this up here before I go through the build. I will be using this mainly for gaming (d3, skyrim, wow, lol, farcry, assassins creed etc.), for entertainment (movies, streaming, music etc.). This is my first build and I was hoping to get as much performance available for the money i'm putting on it. I'll be adding a second monitor in the future. I hope to be Oc'ing in the future aswell, then I'll be adding water cooling on it then. Please feel free to critique and any suggestions for improvement is very welcome
.
P.S. I would like to keep the price the same ($4,200 NZD) so if there are better components for around the same price, please let me know. Thank you for time![Smile :) :)](/data/assets/smilies/smile.gif)
