[QUOTE="Qckrun, post: 657280, member: 544651"] Well for christmas I was given some money to start building my new gaming computer. I've been looking for a while and I basically know what I want but I want your guys opinions. My budget is roughly around 1500-1700$... and I think I might have pulled out a nice little system. Some things on here will be able to be upgraded with extra stuff(ex: Hard drives) later, but this list is just what i need to get up and going. Please critque to your guys views, adding, subtracting things that would be better etc. Please all advice is helpful as I am about to purchase alot of this stuff.
