Hey guys. I am an avid gamer but have never gotten into the specifics of my system. I know my basics but I could definitely use some suggestions. I am currently using a Dell XPS 400 series that is about 1 year old and runs a Pentium D 2.8 Ghz. I added a 7900GTX GPU myself when I bought it. I am looking to do a whole new build now however because I realize how lacking my system actually is. I want my system to be decently future proof and have the capability for some mild overclocking. Nothing crazy. Here is what I have been looking at so far.
