Hi guys, I am new to this forum and I have perused Toms hardware's forums and this is what I came up with for my build. Please keep in my mind I am trying to get a cheap build that can handle moderate gaming without medium/high graphics settings. If you could please give me some suggestions about if what I have listed is crap that would be much appreciated. This is my first computer build ever. If you could also give me some tips on the actual building phase that would be great.
