Hi everyone.
I built a few computers a few years ago and am itching to get back into it. After reading through a few threads on the forum and looking at some components online, I quickly realised how far the technology and the industry as a whole has moved on in the last few years.
I'm hoping to regain a bit of knowledge before starting my build but had the following in mind:
Asus P8Z68-V LX motherboard
Intel core i5 2500
Corsair vengeance 8gb 1600 ram (2x 4gb)
Coolermaster elite 430 case - although I really like some of the fractal design cases but I would like a side window.
The computer will just be for home/office use so I'm thinking I will use the inboard graphics and sound. I have 2x dell 20" windescreen monitors and a creative 5.1 speaker system.
I'm not 100% sure those components will be right and I'm not sure what psu to use but I think it's a decent starting point.
Any comments are of course welcome.
Craig.
