[Build Help] So I put this together on pcpartpicker.com...
And I'd like to make sure I'm not paying for more than I need. I'm trying to build a gaming PC which can handle Planetside 2 (an upcoming MMOFPS), Skyrim (with mods, and Battlefield 3, all at high to Ultra-high settings. I'd also prefer to keep the computer able to handle new games for at least a few years. Any suggestions?
