New PC buyer here.
Wondering if anyone knowledgeable about PC parts can find a better deal than this or customize my own PC to be built with similar but slightly lower priced pieces with the possibility of enhancing the performance. Looking to shave off a few bucks off & wondering if it will perform.
The primary function I would like with this PC is extremely smooth gaming for Starcraft 2 + HD streaming capability.
Found a "deal" for $1524.
