This is my first build, I’m planning on spending enough for a decently spec’d computer. I’d really like some advice Incase I’ve missed something.

So far I’ve got:

Crucial RealSSD C300 128GB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Hard Drive
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB SATA-II 32MB * 2 or 3 in raid 0 or raid 5
Intel Core i7 950 3.06GHz (Bloomfield) (Socket LGA1366) - Retail
Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R Intel X58 (Socket 1366) DDR3 Motherboard
Corsair Hydro H70 High Performance CPU Cooler
Edimax EW-7727In nMax 300Mbps Wireless Desktop PCI Network Adapter
Coolermaster HAF 912 Plus Case - Black

I’d like 2 gpu’s added though i’ve been advised to wait for the new 6000 amd series coming out this month.

I know it’s a little gimmicky but is there away of turning on the computer via a remote (whether by front end case mod or tc tuner) and is it possible to hook my virgin media box into the computer? I’ve a 42” tv I’d like to record tv from.

I’d really appreciate any help or advice!
 
Thanks for the welcome!

I've added a 1,000 watt psu and 3*2 gb ocz ram. About the remote control, I want to put the comp out of the way (kids running around). Having the remote would be helpful, could you recommend something?

Also you said about virgin media box, would a standard tv card do that or would I need something specific? Software side I'll use windows media but I'm not sure bout the hardware.

thanking you in advance
