Hi, I'm new here and new to building. I was in the market for a new computer and for some reason became intrigued with the prospects and building my own....Probably for a lot of the same reasons as many. But anyways, I've been doing a good deal of research into components and the actual procedure and believe that I have finally settled on what my build will include....So, I'm going to list it here for you all to take a look at, if you could that is....
Feel free to offer any advice and/or input that you would like.
ps...I'm trying to keep my budget at $1500.00 or under with shipping.
