Hey all.

I recently decided to build a new computer for casual gaming. i want to build it myself since i heard and beilive its cheaper.

Of course as my first computer i'm comparing tons of hardware and stats online. i'v learned a ton more about computers over the last few days but im far from a expert.

I'm thinking of going with this build but i want to make sure it will work before i buy the componants. So here's my list, ANY constructive critism will be welcome an loved
