Hi! In september i will be buying a gaming computer and i want to prepare myself. Im thinking of getting a pc that can run most games at max (acceptable frame rates). I would like quiet, good looking fans and please use the fractal define r4 case. My budget is around 1500 and i already have a monitor in mind.
Thanks!
