So my laptop is getting old and want to make my own desktop now. I want it to be a good gaming computer. I assembled a list of parts quickly on the net and tried to keep them compatible with each other though I probably screwed up. Can someone check over this list to see if there is an obvious errors or incompatibilities of this list?
