I am a hardcore PC gamer and was thinking about building a new rig and since I am on a small budget I threw this baby together. It will be the first machine I have both built and selected on my own. I know there are a lot of you much more knowledgable than I so any input would be great. My big concern is that components wont interface well. Most of these components were also recomended by PC Gamer. Thanks for any suggestions!
