Hi, I am planning on building a computer but I want to get some experienced people's opinions before i know exactly what I'm going to purchase.
Please feel free to criticize and give me suggestions because this is going to be my first build.
All of the items that I'm looking at are on newegg.com.
I picked these because i heard of the scorpious platform, although i do not know if that would be the best bang for my buck(what do you guys think?). In the fields where I posted 2 links I'm not sure which one would be better or work in the scorpious platform.
