Hey guys, I have been planning to upgrade for a while and I believe it is time. My primary use will be for gaming. I play Arma 3 the most, along with CS:GO, BF4 and more. With that said, for a budget, I will be looking around $600. Planning to have with build done within the next month or so, hoping to last around 3-4 years. I have been researching and came up with these parts. Suggestions and comments are welcome! More than welcomed to suggest an Intel build similar to this in this price range Thanks!
