Firstly hey guys im new to the forum
. So i've decided to build a new desktop PC to replace my 3 year old laptop. I've never built a pc but i thought i'd give it a crack. Ok so the pc is going to be primarily for gaming (BF3 skyrim when its out and also starcraft 2). This is what i've got so far guys, lets see what you think, is anything a bit overkill etc.
