This will be my first build and I figured that as long as I'm spending money I should get opinions from people who know what they're talking about. I plan on using the computer for gaming and schoolwork. (I only want this setup to competently run games it doesn't need to max out every game that comes out.) Your opinions and recommendations are appreciated! And thanks in advance for any help.
