Looking for some advice before I move forward with the purchase.
Hi guys, just looking for some advice. This machine will be used for gaming and possibly some virtual reality in the future. I want to have it somewhat future proofed. I did choose AMD over Intel but could be swayed if I could get an intel machine that's as good for the same price. How does it look?
