This will be my second build in 3 years. Open to all suggestions. I am hoping this build will be good for another 3 years or so.
Alot of gaming, movies, and SOME web editing.
Not so much of a budget, but I'd like to stay around $1800 as I have a better chance of keeping my manhood out of my wife's grasp :/
US
Intel, NVidia, WD, EVGA but am open to all as these are just what I am used to
ASUS VK246H Monitor, Steelseries Shift KB, Steelseries Cata Mouse, Bose Speakers
I have posted threads about individual parts all over AT and overclocking.
Will OC CPU, GPU, and RAM
Dual 1920x1080
Around Thanksgiving when I get home from Afghanistan, and sales will be helpful.
Im in the military, not much anyone could say that would "hurt my feelings" lol
