Hi
I'm not exactly sure if asking advice on my first post is rude or not.
I had a mac (please don't flame) that went crap, and now I'm looking to buy a new customized pc.
I've been looking through the forums and different sites (though I'm computer stupid) and am currently on ibuy power.
I use computers mostly for gaming, I plan on keeping this same setup for awhile so I want it to last, and I don't plan on oc'ing.
I'm wondering if you could supply any information about what you see, or stupid mistakes that i'm making in my configuration, or if you think something needs changing.
Thank you for your time
