This is the complete hardware specification for the computer that I built last week. It is helpful to keep all the part information in case I have to reinstall the operating system/update the hardware drivers.
Overall the computer is working excellently. Games run well and two monitors make general computing significantly more productive — one monitor for random surfing and the other for work.
