Now to build the thing:D
 
Have i made a boo boo then?:(

Ok i must admit i havent built a PC for a few years so i am out of touch with current hardware, which will account for my error.

Now the BIG question is for the same budget (£592 all in), what should i have done??

I will speak to OC and see if i can appeal to their better side

Thanks though guys.
 
Right the good news is i can return and re-order. Thanks OC.

So before i make another royal ****-up, PLEASE fill me with your wisdom chaps. I wanna get this right this time :)
 
Hey Nvidiot,
No need for HDD or optical drive.

Wish i had pay'ed more attantion in the offset. Still it will teach me all over again to walk before i can run.

So is your spec the better way to go?

Again i am out of touch with things so all the advice is welcomed with open arms................and a nice cuppa:)
 
Budget wise the current spend is £592 lets say i can squeeze another £50 tops.

How does that change things?:)

In a nutshell the computer is for gaming more so the likes of Crysis if that helps.
 
Come to think about it, as my insight is some what limited i think its best if i go on you chaps better judgement.
Its the best spec i can get for the £650 mark that will run games very nice. Overclocking is a bonus but not essential. Multi GPU's again would be nice but not to sure if that will go with my budget.

Nvidiot,
Thanks V.Much for the advice.

Dont suppose you could post the direct links to the products, im not being lazy.........well i probably am, its just i dont wanna **** up AGAIN:)

Thanks
 
I was advised not to go with MSI at the time of purchase, hence why i switched to the Asus.

In the past i mostly went with MSI products as i found them great.

Do you suggest i wait for the MSI board?
 
Its amazing sometimes how a game can influence a major spend.

In all fairness i was always a PC person as opposed to consoles, however i do enjoy my Xbox.
 
forgot to ask Nvidiot, will the stock cooler be ok with this? I dont intend to fiddle with overclocking right now, but maybe in the future i will. At that stage i assume i will need to upgrade the CPU cooler?
