Hey, new to signing up to the forum but have been lurking for quite a while.
I'm going to be building my first proper system. I've only ever replaced a few parts before not a full build, but have been meaning to for a while now.
Been having a look about and got together a rough idea on what to include in it and was wanting opinions and any help you may provide.
I will use it for all sorts - gaming, web browsing, music, light image/photo editing, but none of these too majorly. I wont really be overclocking, for the time being anyway. Budget is around the £700 mark but will increase if need to.
Intel Core i5 750 2.66Ghz (Lynnfield) (Socket LGA1156) - OEM
Asus GeForce GTX 260 Glaciator+ 896MB GDDR3 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Antec 902 Nine Hundred Two Ultimate Gaming Case - Black (No PSU)
Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD2 Intel P55 (Socket 1156) DDR3 Motherboard
Patriot Sector 5 Viper II 4GB (2x2GB) PC3-12800 1600MHz Dual Channel + 3D Mark Vantage (PVV34G1600LLKB)
Be Quiet! Straight Power 650W ATX2.2 SLi Compliant Power Supply
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache - OEM (ST31000528AS)
Sony Optiarc AD-7241S 24x DVD±RW SATA Lightscribe Optical Drive (Black) - OEM
Coolermaster Hyper TX3 CPU Cooler (Socket 754/939/940/AM2/AM3/775/1156)
