Hi everyone, first post here and its a doozy. Both me and my brother are looking to upgrade our current 3+ yr old PC's to something with a bit more umpf as this will be the first time I have actually built one from scratch I feel its a good idea to get some advice on what we have decided on after talking with friends we play games with.
As you can see we are very much going on the need to not upgrade for a while after we build this and want opinions on things like cases mostly to ensure we have sufficient cooling.
This will be my brother's PC I am still undecided on a few things and will look to build it later. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
