Hello everyone,
Decided to get back into the PC building world after years of using laptops. I wanted to build something like a HTPC or steam box, to be used in my living room and hooked up to my TV, mostly gaming and movies.
After a lot of research, this is what I have come up with. BTW, I want to have 1080p, 60fps gaming.
Would love to get some feedback on this build and any other thoughts, ideas. Thanks!!
