- Decided to just spend the extra money and go Intel CPU over AMD
- will get a SSD later down the road
- right now I'm liking the r9 280x over gtx 770/760 even though the motherboard says it's SLI-ready
- I already have the HAF 912 case so I will use that
- according to my research the 600w supply should be enough
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
