Hey Guys,
This being my first build I have been looking through the forums leeching a bit. I looked through the 2013 budget builds sticky, and compiled a parts list of the items that seemed to come up the most (aside from maybe the cooler/case).
This rig will be used for very simple tasks day to day (Microsoft Office, Internet, etc.) aside from gaming. I was trying to keep the build at around $1k, or less
...what I got here I think is a good build and will last a while.
Let me know what you think of what I got, and offer any advice on cutting cost, and/or any compatibility issues you see. Thanks in advance.
