Hey guys, now its been quite some time(4-5 years) since i last built a system, and i have been massively out of the loop PC component/tech wise.
there has been much change since i last looked into this.
i've decided after a lot of thinking to give it another go.

looking at £1400-1500 at a big push, that must include monitor, keyboard, mouse and headset(coming from laptop so need all the peripherals)
monitor needs to be large and have hdmi inputs(wish to be able to plug in PS3)

now i've done a little research to try get myself up to speed, but i'd just like a little advice and reassurance that i shouldnt have any compatibility issues or i'm not making any mistakes buying crap components etc
i really just want that warm fuzzy feeling before i go ahead and click buy. last thing i want to do i spend all that money to find a problem and feel like a complete ****.

before we get into the spec, i've been looking at the SSD's and was really unsure if its really worth it, so i've specced without but could consider buying one next month

so if you could do me the kind favor of looking over this and giving any advice you can please.











and for the monitor and stuff



Total : £1,434.41

this is really pushing the top end of the budget so please if you are going to suggest any changes please suggest something of a similar price range.
 
No not intentionally, i had the original dominator ram and got on well with it, and again my old experience with antec cases have always been good.
i've tryed to stick to the brands i had good experience with in the past.

do you reckon i will get better temps with the silverarrow?

looked at the ram situation, and have decided to go with 8GB of the XMS-3

also decided to go with the plantronics after reading reviews look to be good for the money.
