Was wondering if I could get advice on a new build. For example: what you would do different, compatability issues, Known issues with components etc.
I tried posting on Tom's Hardware but didn't really get any worthwhile responses. Plus I've been a member for a while and know there are some knowledgable people here.
P.S. This isn't an Anti-Mac thread I have a MBP, but I want a dedicated gaming rig too. I don't really have a Budget (translated: No Wife) but am looking to stay around 2000 USD, and have a rig to last a few years.
