Thanks for the suggestiont, RAM looks good and lifetime warranty so I think I'll be going for them, will lower timings for RAM actually impact performance a lot though??
I've had an ASUS motherboard for a number of years and have been impressed with the reliability and easy simple BIOS, not exactly sure why but I feel more inclinded to getting an ASUS board. From reading loads of forum threads people seem to indicate they are reliable and can handle 24/7 computer use for years as well, maybe slightly more so that Gigabyte boards.
I've been a bit unsure as to how much power I need, I thought too much would be better than not enough. I also want a PSU which allows me plenty of upgrade possibilities like several hard drives and a decent GPU. I've read good reviews of the Antec PSU and apparently a PSU with good solid output voltages can help system reliability and longevity, which the Antec TP-650 does have. Maybe it's still overkill though??
As this is my first build I'm slightly apprehensive about putting in too much extra stuff, like a CPU cooler as I'm not sure how difficult it will be compared with the Intel stock fan.
