ok about a year ago i was talkin about building my first computer, read up a bunch and put a list together that seemd alright to
the forum memebers that saw it. problem is i never built it so now im back again, me and a friend threw a list together that we thought
would be pretty sweet. im not sure what my budget is...but i think this list gets pretty close to it. so let me know what you think, feel free to be harsh if needed.
ps. total price atm is $1471, but thats all from newegg, i will look around for deals though.
