Greetings!
Once again, a noob in the arts of computer-building is seeking the advice of the pros.
I am about to start college, and i want a new gaming PC that can run the most graphic-intensive games at the smoothest pace and highest performance possible under around $3,000. I recently went to digitalstormonline.com to customize my computer, and here is what i have so far.
*I will be buying a second graphics card as soon as i raise the funds
Just looking for some input and comments on improvements and possible compatibility issues. I especially want to make sure that i have proper cooling for my system
Thanks a ton in advance!
*Also, would it be worth it to pay the extra 50 bucks or so to get them to overclock my system for me? Or is it just as easy to do it myself and save the cash?
