Hey everyone,
I posted a thread before asking for a build, but didn't get any responses. I've put together my own and would like some information mainly on areas where I could cut back and save some money, feasibility of case and compatibility of components, and overall value as a gaming rig. Thanks in advance for all the assistance, I have learned a lot from just perusing the forums.
