Hello NextGenUpdate members

Below this text is the exact same specs in my built Gaming rig. I'd like it for you guys to simply rate on the build quality for the price. Thanks. Please realize i'm a massive AMD fan, so no bashing of AMD CPU's in here please. I don't bash Intel, don't bash AMD.

This was one hell of a build, and I loved every second of putting her together. If there's one thing everyone should pick up on, there's no pleasure in buying prebuilts. For god sake buy your own, customize it to what you want it to be, you'll take on way more pride with it after, knowing that your blood/sweat/tears have gone into making that build.
