Hello, I just wanted to say first of all... I don't claim to be an expert in anything computer related, that being said... I do think I have a decent knowledge of most computer hardware.

Anyways, I am currently looking to build a new computer, It has been a good 4 years since I have built a computer and I'm kind of out of the loop when it comes to the new, the best, or the most reliable.

My last computer costs around $800, but I plan on going big this time. My ideal price range would be around $2,500 - $3,500 range.

I want this computer to last at least 4 or so years. (like my current build)

I have been messing around with the custom building tool, and came up with this.

Please if you have any suggestions on any changes feel free to call me a jack-ass and lemme know what I should change.

P.S. I am going to be using this game for massive amounts of gaming, I currently work out of the house and I'm on the computer a lot. I plan on playing games like,
Starcraft 2, Diablo 3, Modern Warfare 3, Elder Scrolls Skyrim, ect...
