I'm venturing into the computer building business for the first time. My last computer was built by someone else, but I'm taking the lead on this one. Tell me what you guys think about this setup. The price listed is either what I paid or what I can get it for. I've only gotten the processor and RAM. Yes, this will be a gaming PC.
