Howdy,
My first post on here was asking for advice on what company to buy a
computer from. Now--with your advice and some soul searching--I have
decided to build it myself. I have a budget of around 2k, and am
looking for a system to do it all: gaming, tv, photoshop, usual home
stuff, etc.
Here is what I have in mind after some research. Everything is from New
Egg cept speakers and keyboard/mouse. I would love your opinions and
advice; the more the better:
