Hello everyone,
I'm new to the forums, so... hi
I want to get myself a desktop PC but nothing appeals to me from ready setups and the prices are usually a bit higher than parts themselves. I decided to build it myself, it will be my first PC build so any advice and tips welcomed (I'm a bit afraid of putting processor on the motherboard and putting a cooler on it).
Considering I am a bit tight with cash, I moved house recently, could you please advice me on this setup? Maybe something cheaper, maybe something better...
I will be grateful for any and all answers and if you possibly could say why if you advice me on changing some of the components.

CPU Cooler: Gelid GX7 High Performance Quiet PC Cooler (Socket Intel 775/1366/1155/6 and AMD AM2/AM2+/AM3/AM3+/FM1) - didn't give it much thought so any other options welcomed £39.98
Graphic card: HIS HD 6970 IceQ Turbo 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card with FREE Deus Ex PC Game - Is there a lot of difference between 6970 and 6950? £279.95
