Hi, I am building a new gaming pc. This was the best build I could come up with for $600. What do you think of it? I tried to stay as high quality and premium as I could ( I also wanted a quiet and cool pc so that why i didnt go AMD). I only cheaped out on the MOBO and the PSU, but from their reviews, despite being cheap, they seem to provide a overall good experience and meet expectations. Any recommendations or tweaks you would do to it?
