First off I have never built my own computer so bare with me if I'm a total noob. I'v spent a little time on newegg and think I have most of what I want down but I would like any feed back on how to improve/ save money. Also, if I would benifit from making the build with liquid cooling. If I'm missing something or something doesn't work well with something else let me know.
