This is going to be my first computer build and I'm posting it on the forums to see your opinions in terms of the functionality of this particular build. Basically I wanted to build a minimalist computer that should last me up until I'm set off to college (2 years). I was barely able to keep this build under $500 due to the price increases of several components such as memory along with shipping fees and sales tax. I'm not at all a die-hard PC gamer due to school work and will occasionally play such titles as Minecraft and Gmod on the weekends. I know its lame, but such is the life of a high school student. At most, I'll probably play Battlefield 3. What do you think of this build? Will it work? Take into consideration that I keep a tight budget so don't bother recommending me parts unless it's vital and significantly inexpensive. Thank you!
