Hi everyone,
I'm looking to build my first PC after using laptops for the last 7 years. The PC will be used primarily for gaming, but may also be used to run some computation-heavy optimizations for work. I may also use it for casual crypto-currency mining at night (I don't expect to make any $$ off of this, but moreso as a way to learn more about crypto).
Please let me know if anything I listed here is either going to bottleneck the system, overkill, or if there is a better alternative. I am getting 2 graphics cards for SLI.
Also, I have never overclocked before and have no intention of overclocking right now, but would prefer to have a system that keeps that option open in the future.
I appreciate the help.
