Hello,
I wanted to just add a few TB storage to my current desktop computer, but I don't think my current motherboard/case/PS will support extra drives. I always enjoy building a new computer, and I got a little extra cash, so I figured I would get some opinions.
My build needs to be able to function as the primary network storage for a few devices (HDMI dongle to TV's, laptop, etc). I also would like to be able to play games if I want to (used to play WoW, might get into it again sometime).
I started basing my search around the SharkyExtreme High-End gamer PC guide from May 12', but then wondered if there would be a better, more customized solution, so I thought I'd post here after reading a few buyers guides.
After reading the "best processor for the money" buyers guide, it seems the intel i5-3450 fit my situation the best, but I'm always open to suggestions. I don't expect anyone to pick out every part, I'm just looking for any input or links to previous builds that are closely related to my functionality.
Thanks.
