Building a Gaming Rig!

HussanK · March 6, 2014

This is my first time building my own personal computer. I just want to make sure everything looks okay before I make any larger purchases. I have bought all the case fans, the H100i, the dvd drive, the case, and the 2TB hard drive. I will be overclocking it, my main concern would be the selection of my motherboard. Of all the research I've done I feel I know the least about it. Just making sure everything will work, even in overclocking. The computer is white/black/blue themed if you do make any changes please keep that in mind. Also I'm not sure about the peripherals, mostly the monitors. My budget is about $2800, so i got pretty close. I do want 2 monitors, but i am willing to go over budget if it means getting better peripherals. I will be doing some minor editing projects using this computer.
