If you dont mind me asking..will that CPU fit with the Mobo ?

 

[RockoSRI]

The processor won't fit that board.

i5 6600k will fit and it's pretty much around the same price.

 

[TriedandTested]

Great. Thank you. Have swapped it out.

Does the rest seem pretty solid (compatible and somewhat futureproof etc)?

 

[Quartz]

If you're going for a gaming headset, get a wireless USB one.

Opps on the price and as Lee said, do you have storage etc ...

 

[TriedandTested]

I have an OS, keyboard, power supply and SSD available.

THanks for the replies. Will have a look through all your suggestions now.

 

[Ethermaster]

No problem I think I may have over done the black and white theme tho ... don't call me the bling king for nothing you know

 

[TriedandTested]

Do you think this spec will be good to go for the Rift?

 

[no_name_needed]

I have an OS, keyboard, power supply and SSD available.

What PSU have you got and how old is it..Don't want it damaging your new components
