Hey everyone,
So I made a thread a little while back saying I was planning putting together a new build here soon. Anyways, this was the first time I really did a lot of the choosing myself so I hope I did alright. Some guy over at a non-tech forum told me that "Honestly, some components in there are pretty wasteful." I figured I'd see what you all thought and you can be honest won't bother me. You have to make a couple mistakes to learn anyways. But here is what I went with...
I haven't put her together just yet. I haven't had the time to really sit down and do it but I've made it my Saturday project. I can't wait to fire it up and check out this new i7 Sandy Bridge! Any critiques or thoughts would be appreciated even if I made a mistake and was "wasteful." Basically looking for a second opinion. LOL. Either way I think it'll be a good build overall.
