[browntown]

I am not a new pc gamer but I am very unfamiliar to building them and selecting parts that work with one another. my budget is approximately $2500cdn for nothing other than the tower and components. i would like to have a computer than runs the majority of games in the high setting ranges if possible. thanks for the help and contributions.  its a clean slate i will need everything.
