My Gaming Rig, Need Comments/Help
I am thinking of removing the sound card and just use the onboard motherboard sound. The extra money will go to a better CPU or Video card. I am on a $1,000 budget. This would be everything I am buying, so let me know if I am missing something. I don't know if I need any extra cooling fans.
