Hi guys.
This is the first rig I will be building so I am slightly confused. I have been looking around and have composed a list of the parts I would like for my rig. However I'm not 100% sure that everything I have selected is compatible and if you notice anything that is bad value for money please do let me know of any replacements.
My budget was originally £500-£600 but once I started compiling the list of the components I wanted the price soon shot up! £1000 is the most I want to pay now. I will be mainly using the computer for playing World of Warcraft and watching movies. I'm told the spec I have selected is over-kill for WoW, but I would rather spend that little bit extra to ensure I can play on medium-high video settings whilst keeping high fps in-game. Additionally I don't want to have to upgrade any components for a few years. I do occasionally play Counter-Strike : Source but I won't be playing any high graphic demanding FPS's such as Crysis or Farcry 2.
I already have a Samsung T220HD LCD which I will be using with this rig. I would also like the computer to be visually nice to look at with lighting, hence why I chose this mouse and keyboard, so I'd love any ideas on how to make the appearance more stunning.
Any help or feedback is very much appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to look.....
