I have been window-shopping for PC components at newegg for awhile and have a general view of the computer I want. But, due to this being my first build, I am unsure whether or not these parts will integrate well with each
other. So I thought it would be best to run my specs through you seasoned pros before buying these parts. I have a $3000 budget, so I plan on making a pretty beefy rig. My (future) specs are:
Processor: Newegg.com - AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ Windsor 3.0GHz 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket AM2 Processor - Retail
