Jesus , the shit that gets too me most is always left field . Hugs y ' all <| sep |> This man knows what he ' s talking about . I have had bad luck with msi motherboards in the past , but they ' re better than asrock , the bottom barrel of pc part manufacturers . OP , Get yourself a solid motherboard and an Intel processor . They ' re the most crucial to a stable system , and most importantly they ' re the biggest pain in the ass to upgrade ! I never felt like the amd price advantage ended up being worth it and after switching back and forth I ' m a firm nvidia believer . The AMD cards might technically be more powerful but when games aren ' t optimized as well for them , it ' s a moot point . YMMV <| sep |> I ' m pretty sure it ' s JapaneseCanadian .
