Hi Guys

Great forum and loads of good info here for sure thank you, but thought it time i posted, i been thinking of building a new system over the coming months and im going to get a few bits each month untill its finished, im going to include what i think ive decided on, any comments on improvements and performance i can expect would be great as this is the first build ive attempted.
Also will there be any unexpected problems anyone can see with this rig.
Thanks in advance

pretty similer spec to what im building , also i dropped p6t out for a rampage 2 extreme. also the 950 isnt really needed unless your runing 2 cards but then again a 950 wat maybe needed a lot more in the future so getting it now could be a good idea, but yeh i run it all on corsair tx 650w
 
The psu is overkill and not modular, try the 850hx.

The rest of that will make one very fast pc.
 
Still undecided between the intel i7 chip and the phenom way? I've always been amd so I guess habbit plays a big part but intel does look the better option
views on this for me would be great ;-)
