Hello, everyone. This is my first custom built PC ever. I'm building it for gaming and general use. I want this machine to last me exactly two years, not necessarily future-proof beyond that, but also the best I can get for my money. This is what someone else set me up with, but if you could look over it and tell me what you think, I want it to be as good for my dollar as possible.
As I said, it's for gaming and general use for 2 years. My price ceiling is about 1500-1600 before tax.
Here's the list I have now:
