Hi folks from Lansing, Michigan. I'm finally in the market for a new PC. My computer is hitting the 5 years old mark and is just not cutting it anymore. When I built it it was Mid-Upper Range. I haven't stayed up-to-date on parts or components, and was looking for a little help.
UPDATED:
I've put together a Black Friday build for gaming and streaming. Some thoughts on components/deals would be appreciated. Reused parts from old system bolded below. Also, going to buy the student version of Windows 8.1 and DL it onto a flash drive.
