Review of Mid-Level Gaming Build #2
Review of Mid-Level Gaming Build #2
Initial setup for a mid-range gaming PC at around $2000-2500. This is the updated configuration following my first update. Any recommendations?
It's been a while since I encountered a build featuring a $450 motherboard. I think it offers capabilities you wouldn't find at cheaper prices.
Gaming systems gain advantages from RAM with low latency and RAM CL30.
If you opt for dual M.2 SSDs (or storage options), consider this board:
