Hello guys. After about 5-6 years of wanting a great PC i've finally managed to get the money together and want to make sure what i'm getting is perfect. I've been using the info given by members in other threads and googling for the past few days now but it is quite a lot to learn. Here is what i've got so far, would appreciate any thoughts and suggestions!
I am pretty sure about the CPU and GPU. the rest i am still not totally decided, as I dont want to be cheaping out in some areas I may have missed or overspending when I shouldn't be. The PC will be used mainly as a gaming PC :sorcerer:
Edit: specific questions I have are: any advice on a motherboard to pair with the 7700k for the best quality and price? And can anyone give me any more information on the best HD/SSD as well as tell me if the cooling is overkill? Thanks!
