Helllllo everybody!
Heres the situation, I am in the process of looking at components to build my first rig. It will be used for browsing as well as gaming (i.e. LoL, BF3, Diablo3) so it needs to be fast and be able to operate well under heavy loads. My budget is ~$1000USD, and I don't mind going over that if it is better quality and more bang for my buck. I'm hoping everything will be compatible that I have chosen, if not please let me know and if you have any recommendations on what I may/may not need, PLEASE feel free to let me know. I have included a list of my current parts, the only one I do not have yet is a case. I am open to suggestions, the only thing I am looking for is a side view panel and some nice LEDS...Also if I forgot a component, let me know as well hahaha
Thanks in advance for all your help. Once everyone tosses in their input and I know everything is compatible, I will start purchasing all the components.
