Hi all!
I've not built a PC in many years, i used to be massively into the building scene and would never have a computer not built by myself. But time etc came in the way, and keeping up to date is more important in this area than any other. So with my last built PC being a 486 I come to the current expert with my first build in over 10 years.
My budget is at most £1000, and I've kept the pieces I've set up at £900 in case of unexpected costs. I've been reading the forum for a week or two taking in the advice of various users and also tried to squeeze in as many This week only offers without compromising on quality. I have not overclocked a PC in a long time, and I might consider getting a ready overclocked bundle rather than risk it.
My main use will be online gaming, like the upcoming guild wars 2, Warhammer online and I also play offline games like Empire Total war, and the hopefully soon to come Civilization 5.
So please take a look at this build, and if you got time give me some advice on the choices I've made, and maybe better options. Thanks in advance to those who help, and thanks to those who already have helped by offering advice to other posters.
