Hi everybody,
I'm trying to put together a mid-range desktop to play games, and I'm stumped about where to spend my money. At the moment I've gone for a fairly good processor, but only 4gb ram and a radeon 5670. Any advice you could give me about improving this build would be very gratefully received!
