Help with building my haf-x
Yup yet again another noob here, though i figured this would be the best place to come for some help.
I recently inherited a haf-x case and basically need help deciding on parts from here on in, im not looking to build anything to expensive anything i7 based is out of my league. i have a budget of 2,000 cant afford to go over, and definitely would prefer some cash left over from that haha. |

What purpose? Gaming?
$2000 will build you a great performer. Do you have a monitor? OS? Peripherals?
