I want to build my own PC before the fall semester starts and there's a Micro Center about 20 min away from me. I just filled up my shopping cart with all the parts that I want and it seems like a reasonable price but I want to make sure that I'm getting the most bang for the buck. The other thing is that I've never built my own PC from scratch before so I'll just basically be following guides...
Anyway does this look like a decent gaming machine for the price of $1259?
