Hello,
Thanks for reading this. First of all, I recently posted a build over the summer asking for advice. I am now much closer to actually building this PC, yet I'm sure some of the parts are outdated or there are better options now available. The only significant change I have personally made is the case and the graphics card (from the 670 to 660Ti).
