Here is a new build for gaming I'm about to buy. Just had a few questions:
Is my power supply sufficient?
Is this a good video card for high settings for games coming out?
Should I be getting a 3rd party fan or any other cooling options? I do plan to overclock and it will be my first time doing so.
Any other comments/suggestions are welcome too. All help is appreciated!
