Spec check ~ £900

[nmb]

Hi all,

I'm looking into building a new gaming rig in the coming weeks, will be upgrading from a q6600 system. I will be re-using my current GTX 460 card, but will be upgrading this soon after. I don't need a keyboard, mouse, monitor or OS.

I've been watching the forums for a few weeks to get an idea of the current hardware line-up. This is the spec that I have come up with. Decided to go for a higher end mobo as the second ethernet port will come in handy.

Would be grateful if someone could take a look and let me know if you have any recommendations.

Cheers,
Nick

After some suggestions from my friend, i'd swap the ssd for the corsair GT version, like 10/20 quid more? I'd probably change your ram selection too, some nice cheap 8gb corsair for sale.

Sure, I'll swap out the SSD if I can find that model at a similar price.

Any particular reason for going with corsair ram over the samsung? I heard that these were meant to overclock quite well.

As above swap for a better SSD.
