So I've got a gaming build going and I've already bought a few things (PSU, RAM, Wifi adapter, HDD). I plan on using an old Windows 7 OEM and updating to Windows 10 for free so ignore the Windows 8 OS.
I'm looking for last minute advice on what I could change to improve it without adding too much to the cost. Anything that should go on sale within the next week or so, or if a better one IS on sale. That sort of thing.
I'm also concerned about the case. It says that the graphics card cannot fit with bay drives in the case. Is that a large issue or is that something easy to do?
