hey guys, this will be my first time building a pc all by myself, could you please look over my parts list and give me some feedback?
i'm a big fan of the microATX form factor, so i decided on the p8z77-m and that kick-ass silverstone case. not sure on the mem and GPU tho.. worth the money?
- i've got a budget of about 1000$ (gonna buy the filco, rosewill and the led controller later on).
- already got a rad monitor, so wont be needing this one
- also already got my win7
- will be using this build for some light gaming (recent games though, but more like tomb raider/bioshock) and developing
soooo.. thoughts?
