New Gaming Rig
Posted: Mon Dec 24, 2012 5:18 pm
Hello!
Need some advice on building a gaming rig. I have $500 I can put down on it...potentially more. Not much experience on building from scratch.Just upgraded hardware in store bought ones.
I need help from top to bottom on this thing. Any input is appreciated. Thanks!
*EDIT*
