This is the NEW mockup after the suggestions of the wonderful redditors in the comment section. Price went up $11 dollars, but I'm willing to be I will have a better PC for it. My questions still apply. Please continue to critique and suggest whatever you think I should change.
A few questions I have.
- Are all of these parts compatable?
- Are there any changes I should make, whether it be to reduce cost or take advantage of a better deal?
- Will everything in here fit comfortably in the case I chose?
Also, I am sitting here awaiting you to dramatically dump your computer knowledge load all up in my ears.
OH, and MOST importantly, will this system be able to run Skyrim, Starcraft 2, WoW and other wonderous games?
