building new comp budget not alot not $1500 new to this as first build. done a fair bit of research thinking about buying asap.
using for high end gaming interested in future sli and making future proof.
also thinking about connecting up to 40inch t.v.
as u can see im obviously way off my budget (if i get a vga) maybe can ride on intel graphics for a while
Any recommendations with price/performance im all ears.
