So I've ordered an overclocked system from OCuk...

Anything else I need apart from the following to have myself a fully working PC?
Mouse
Keyboard
Speakers/Headphones
Monitors
All of the above has its cables. Question is, will the system?

Also, I didn't notice a network card in the full spec list. Will I have to purchase one separately or does the OCuk team put in a budget one into the rig?
If it turns out that there isn't infact a network card included, what do you guys buy? The PC is intended for use for gaming.

Sorry for the caveman questions, I just haven't ordered from this website in the past.

Thanks in advance!

What motherboard is in the system you have bought, there should be a connection on that.

Onboard LAN
LAN Chipset Realtek 8111D
Max LAN Speed 10/100/1000Mbps
So unless you need more that one LAN connection there is no need for a network card.

Hey...

You wont need a network card....that mo bo has integrated lan. Just install the drivers off the disc that comes with the mobo and plug in your internet cable. I have the exact same board bought two weeks ago.

Happy gaming!!!

Went for the 6850. Will definitely considering gettting a second one if I get any money in the near future for CrossFire. (Though I only noticed one PCIEX16 slot on the motherboard spec list).
