Posted November 17, 2015 So I've been using my HP-Pavilon dv6-1199eg for a while now and I've decided to upgrade because its getting pretty old and slow and it can't run the games i would like to play. So I was deciding to make a build soon because black friday is coming up and maybe I could get some parts for cheaper. I decided on a $2500 build for medium-heavy gaming, and probably streaming. I may or may not also make youtube videos in the future. This is my first PC build ever so please no hate if I did something wrong in the build, all advice is appreciated and if you have any changes to the build, feel free to do so.
