What would you guys change and could you check to see if everything is compatible?
I want to be around 800 or less
I would like this computer to play new games at full speed but also be relatively quiet (fan controller should help)
Also, I have been doing a lot of research but keep in mind this is my 1st build
Thanks for help in advance!
