Decided to build my own rig instead of buying a desktop that is already put together and probably overpriced It is mainly going to be used for gaming, but also for everyday general use.
I listed the components that I've picked out thus far, I just wanted to make sure that everything I picked is compatible and the best bang for my buck. Any suggestions or problems with the components I picked are greatly appreciated because you all probably have a lot more experience with this stuff than me.
Trying to keep my budget below $1500.00 US
