Hello, I'm a newbie at computers (Just learning about RAM, grpahics cards, ext in the last few monthes o_o) and I wanted to know if this build is good or not. I'm looking for a build that will allow me to play Nice FPS and RTS games. I also need it to last awhile. So, if you can, rate this out of 10 and give me some tips on making it better. I do have a budget which I'll put on the bottom with the price.
