Hi Folks,
Specing a PC as we speak, wouldnt mind a bit of a review on the mess ive made.
I will be using the computer for heavy game usage and I also do a lot of photo processing work in lightroom/PS.
I realise the current spec doesnt have coolers but will be adding watercooling to taste possibly...
The mobo isnt the most practical as I realise the sniper is probably as good but with better on board sound but err the colours dont match the rest of the build *hides*
Any thoughts on screens would be appreciated, obviously something responsive for gaming but good for photo processing, toying with the idea of a 2 screen setup if I cant get a one size fits all.
Anyway thoughts and suggestions, I am open to cutting costs in places, the PSU was just for sli further down the line...
Cheers,
Tom

I did try find 16gb core whites but could only find them on ebay and didnt really trust the advert... but I will have another look.
