Hi everyone,
I am looking to build a rig and as I am quite new to this I am looking for some feedback. I have done my research so I think I am on the right lines. I am looking for a good gaming rig. Basically I would like to know:
a) How good are the components that I have chosen? Are there better alternatives in the same price bracket?
b) Are all of these components compatable with each other?
c) Have I missed anything that I will need?
d) Any other advice that comes to mind.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
