First build - does it make sense?
Hi, I've been trying to put together my first build for the last couple of days. After watching some videos and reading through posts here I came up with this list that adds up to about $1550 on pcpartpicker, but unfortunately costs over $1800 in my country. Would you change anything within this budget or is it okay? The PC will be used mostly for gaming, almost exclusively singleplayer. Thank you very much.
