Hey guys, planning on building a new PC for gaming and just thought I'd run it past the Escapist community for a second opinion:

Looks like a mighty fine hypothetical computer you have there. I can't point out anything specifically, but make extra extra sure your RAM is compatible with your Motherboard, my brother did that and he had to go and buy another couple of sticks
