Hello Guys,
Hope everyone is doing fine~
Been thinking about putting together my dream rig for few years now. I think now the time is right - especially with new gen graphics unit prices settling down and fairly good availability of 144hz gaming displays... also do let me know what you guys think about the timing - should I start placing orders in Jan or should I wait a few more months?
Timeframe I am looking at to put this together is around End of Jan to Feb 2017
