ok so my laptop blew up and wanted to build my own desktop for gaming from scratch. i have $550 to spend and cant go over. i dont need a monitor keyboard or mouse. was just wondering what parts you guys would pick and how you would decide how to build it cuz i have no clue where to start. i just want the most i can get out of my money...thanks in advance



go into detail why you picked those parts and chose that build and also provide links :)I have $550 maximum to build a gaming desktop. Can someone help me "build" one or pick parts. I'm new to this.?
