Hey guys,
I'm right now in the process of buying a new Gaming Rig and I could use a little help since I may have selected sth inappropriate or there could be places of improvement.
So, getting right onto the business.
1) My Budget is 1,73000 INR.
2) My existing hardware configuration is:
-All the old HDDs + my current SSD
-Plan to use the same power supply, although I was hoping to buy something modular but I can't due to budget constraints. I think my current PSU can handle the new rig without problems, I think.
4) Which components I'm looking to buy? Here it is:
My question is, basically, is the rig okay compatibility wise? I have checked everything on my end and it does look alright I think. What do you guys think?
Any help or expert opinions are welcome.
