Title: New build
Post by: McSkittles 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?

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