I built my current desktop a while ago and am currently getting into programs like UnrealEd and 3Ds max. while my desktop runs these guys, it's having some trouble. So I'm thinking about an early Christmas present to myself
you know the drill, rip it apart and tell me whats wrong with my build. I haven't done a whole lot of research on the individual parts but def. plan too. I am also a bit out of the loop as far as company reputations and product quality. so if you see any red flags, or even some yellow ones let me know.
