Hey guys, I'm building a computer for the first time... and I'm wondering if these computer parts are all compatible with each other. Do they go well with each other?
This computer will be used mainly for gaming. Starcraft 2 is definitely a game I'm going to be getting and I'd like to be able to run it on max settings (or close to it).
Here's a list of the parts I'm getting.
