Hi all,

I am currently putting together a spec to allow me to run ESXi (hence the i7) as well as allowing a decent gaming experience.

My first attempt looks like this;

Gigabyte GA-Z87X-D3H £124.99
Intel Core i7 4770K 3.5GHz £269.98
8GB Kit (4GBx2), Ballistix PC3-14900 £70.79
8GB Kit (4GBx2), Ballistix PC3-14900 £70.79
Antec 520W High Current Gamer Modular PSU £67.25
Fractal Design Define Xl R2 £101.90
Total £705.70
I already have a 128GB SSD, HDDs and a GTX670. It will be outputting to a 1920/1200 monitor.

Does it look any good? Any advice appreciated.
