Hi Guys,

First post today could you please help a Newb with some feedback on the system spec below.

This will be my first self-build. Is there anything I’ve missed, not compatible, won’t fit? Am I spending money on the wrong things, could I add or tweak anything that would make a big difference? Am I spending too much? I started with a budget of 1200 but couldn’t help upgrading everything each time I researched a component.

I’ll be using this for gaming and working from Home. I work in Telecoms Programming / Designing IP networks so maybe not a total Newb but very wet behind the ears when it comes to gaming hardware so any help would be appreciated.

Found the Chrome extenstion for the basket hope it works

Thanks
