Hi BuildaPC. I'd like to move to PC gaming, though I have no idea what I'm doing or where to start. I didn't want to post to baPCfm as I wanted to learn about computers in the process. I've done some reading but still feel the parts I've picked will either not be compatible, or will just be inefficient. I'd like to be able to play games on high settings. I will only be using a single monitor for gaming. I will also be getting a keyboard, mouse and OS, however I'd like to get this part sorted first. Thank you.
