1. Which do you guys think is a better setup? (Mostly going to be used for gaming)
2. Would you change anything?
3. Are the parts all 100% compatable (I've been browsing these forums quite often recently and i believe they are compatable)
4. I dont know much about a power supply so i was wondering if anyone could suggest any for me
5. I wanted one optical drive, but (like above) i have no clue on how to choose one
I already have my hard drive and my budget is $800 (but very flexible)
Any help would be greatly appreciated
