Hey guys! So I have a quick question for the gamers out there! I'm looking into getting me a prebuilt desktop PC that is affordable and powerful enough to play just about any game on the market right now! I came across this thing and it's looking good to me! What do you think? Can you find a...

I do not mean buying cpu, gpu, etc to put together a pc but really make your own computer?
Couldn't find anything useful on the web so far but I hope perhaps you do.

I have an "AFT PRO-57U" USB 3.0 card reader that I just purchased. The cable for this card reader must plug into the mobo USB 3.0 20 pin connector. My mobo has only one 20 pin connector, which the USB panel on front of the PC case is currently occupying. I'd rather not have to unplug the case...
