Trying to build a cheap gaming computer that can play newer games like Skyrim, Battlefield 3, etc... Already have a copy of windows 7, don't need an optical drive, and I already have two hard drives which are a WD2500JS and WD2500KS both SATA 3.0Gb/s 7200 RPM.
I think I'm close to being ready to start buying parts and build the computer, but would like other people to look and point out anything I may have missed such as a part not fitting, not enough power etc... Any help would be appreciated.
