How would you spend my $1500-$1800?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is my first build. My goals are the best gaming results I can get for the above mentioned price range.
If I can save more and get the price down, let me know. I have looked at some of the packadges or the of the barebones kits. I find some of the components of a bit less quality with a combo, but it will save about $50-100 in total. Not huge savings though.
I do plan to overclock eventually, when I feel comfortable with it.
Here's what I have researched thus far:
