So I decided I've decided to build my first gaming computer and I'm pretty excited. I have a budget of around $800 ish and for the past week I've been doing a lot of research and review reading to find something that will last and play some decent games like Battlefield 3 and Skyrim -like games. I think the setup that I'm looking at getting is somewhat ok but I was hoping that I might some experts on here to that would be kind enough to see if everything looks good and maybe find someone with the same setup to tell me how it will run? Ill add a link on here to show you guys everything but in case it doesn't work ill list everything below. Also any opinions on using SSD as the boot drive? I heard its extremely fast and pretty worth it. Sorry if I sound very noobish about all this. This is my first build.
