Hey there. I am considering building a new gaming pc for the first time. I have put together a package and would like to know your thoughts on it. Alsa, if you see any components that could be substituted to save money, please let me know. This is my first time ever attempting to build a pc so I am not sure if I'm missing any components or if I may have too many!<a href="javascript:WishListUpdate('https://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion/','11-133-021','HISTORY'<img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />;" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Update </a><a href="http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16811133021" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Thermaltake Armor Series VA8003BWS Black Full Tower Case w/ 25CM Fan -
