Computer Build Help
Hi folks. Any help would be great. Below is what I've picked out, but I'm not entirely sure why. What a build that is faster then my old athlon 64 X2. I want to be able to play Diablo 3. And I would like to have room in the case/board to upgrade.
Questions:
1. is this good board or is there something better and upgradeable for not a lot more cash.
2. any parts I should swap?
3. is windows7 premium worth the extra $20?
4. is there any value to me putting in two GTX 550TIs when Diablo is as tough as I'll get.
5. is there a case/PSU you would recommend (I want usb3 w/ case)
6. do I need some sort of cooler/fan system?
Here's what I've got so far:
