I'm new to all this, if this isn't posted in the correct area please move >_<
Hey all you knowledgeable folk...I'm in the process of trying to figure out what I want for a new computer. I really know pretty much nothing about computers, other then they turn on and look pretty. I'm currently looking at AVADirect to get my rig built, and I don't mind spending a descent chunk of change on it. I want something more high end that can handle some of the better games out there, plus I don't mind having some of the frills that might cost me extra. I'm just gonna post the build I have in mind (totally clueless here, be gentle >_<), I'd just love some feedback on what I'm doing right or wrong.
