Hi
I'm looking at getting a new gaming computer. I put together a build, I was wondering what people's thoughts are, anything else worth getting or anything that is unnecessary, etc.
(such as is a higher MHz ram worth it, is the graphics card too high spec for what the processor is, will a better cpu cooler make it run smotther or last longer, etc.)
My last one has lasted 6 years without any parts being replaced (though a blu-ray and second hard drive has been added)
There is a good chance I will add more hard drives in it's lifetime
