So, I'm on my quest to finally official build my own PC. I've been using a pre-built for awhile now and decided to use my allocated funds to finally make a computer that I can really call my own. Below is the PCPartPicker list I made to show off my plan. I already have the case and the fans, just need to buy everything else.
I've been planning on posting here for awhile, but now I'm finally getting around to it to ask for some guidance. Tell me ANY comments you have regarding my list, all criticism, concerns, and comments are appreciated!
P.S.: I plan to use this for gaming and occasionally school work, and I want to be able to play new AAA titles (and HOI4 which I have around 1,100 hours in) so I thought this setup would be adequate for anything I wanna play and then some.
