I didn't think there were enough of these threads already, so here's another one. I've never built a computer before, but am itching to get into the realm of PC gaming. I also do a lot of music production and I'm going into comp-sci to study game design in... one week. So I'm trying not to skimp where it counts. BUT seeing as I'm new at this, any thoughts from the knowledgeable GB community would be appreciated before I drop $1800. Maybe the CPU and RAM are overkill? Who knows if it's all even compatible? Hopefully you do. Thanks!
