It’s about that time for me to start putting together another rig. About two years since last build.
Here’s what I got so far. Any input is gladly appreciated. This is being hooked up to my 46" Samsung and will be mostly used for gaming and as a DVR. I am hoping to be able to play some games and watch or record TV at the same time. I have no clue what kind of TV tuner to get but it must be able to record in HD. The resolution is pretty high so I am considering Crossfire down the line.
