[Build Help] 1st Build: $1200 max Prodigy gaming rig
Hey BuildAPC, I am planning to build my first PC in a couple months.
It will be used to play League of Legends and Starcraft II Heart of the Swarm, along with some class work. The $1200 max is for just the tower, I already have a monitor, mouse, keyboard, etc.
I believe I have put together what I want, but I could use some feedback about any lower quality parts I may have included, anything that would be overkill for my purpose, or any other suggestions. Thanks
