New build
« on: September 03, 2013, 05:02:58 PM »
Since my last build is still sitting in my closet gathering dust due to a fried processor(stupid power surges while it wasn't on a surge protector for some reason), I've been contemplating a new build recently. I've got a good bit of computer knowledge of my own, and I've checked as much as I know into the compatibility of these parts, but it's always good to get a second opinion, especially from those with more knowledge.

This is just a brainstorming on the fly build, and I'm fully open to suggestions on better/less expensive parts.

Is this build just for gaming? Do you use the computer for any other purposes, such as video editing, graphic design, etc?


Nrvend is too old. We race in hogs, not wheelchairs.
Exodus.....why is there a cat in my post?
Exodus is the all-time Major Pain.

I would mainly be using it for gaming, but I would also be doing some graphics design and probably some picture/video editing.
