Have been lurking around in the forums for a few months now. With the help of fellow forum members I'm more or less settled on the components for my first time build.
My current system is a vista 32bit fossil that just can't play any of the new games I'm interested in.
The original idea was to use parts of my old system and gradually add more bits over time but have decided to try and save the cash and get everything in one go.
Will be calling the project "About Time Too" as well, it really is about time I got a new system.
It's mainly a gaming build but I will also be using ZBrush & PS etc as I'm really into 3D design. I will be adding another SSD at a later date but I will be saving my digital sculptures and paintings to my 500Gb external drive.
The build is still a few months off (still saving) but I would appreciate everyone's thoughts on the what I think is the final component list.
Cheers
Edit: Build will now include 16Gb of ram instead of the 8Gb in basket
My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £987.83
(includes shipping: £0.00)
