hello all

Was wondering I want to build a cheap gaming system built several before and have watched many videos, online of other peoples builds. I have came up with one and want your opinions suggestions, and the like. I know its only a stop gap for now, but from what I have read and seen the system should be respectful for 1080 gaming and on most high, and ultra settings. thanks for the suggestions and thoughts guys and gals.

here is the parts picker list, this is only till I get some extra money saved so I can build a much beefier system in the next year or so, but the laptop I have now is intel HD graphics only and its just not cutting it.

Here is the link.

The idea for a stopgap system is one that you can move forward and upgrade at minimal cost. For instance, if I were building one today, knowing that I'd be upgrading it in a year or so, I'd definitely be looking at the latest chipset and a tier one power supply that is ample for the graphics card(s) I intend to get. Otherwise, you might as well just build two systems.
