Just getting back into the computer scene. I used to keep up but then college/life got in the way but I'm starting to get back into it again. I'm in need of building a new system from scratch and this is what I was thinking of. I'm looking for nothing over $1000 the less the better, but I want to be able to add on for the future. Give me your opinions and corrections of whatever you want.
