Will be going to college this fall and would like a new decent computer. Will be doing some mild gaming like csgo, skyrim etc. But will also be using for school work.
What kind of price range would it cost to build a decent (but nothing crazy) computer for these purposes?
Been watching some tutorials on building, but any pointers for compete novice?
What parts etc would you recommend?
Thank you!
