Nice spec tbh, although if you're thinking of overclocking you'll need more than the stock CPU cooler.

I'd drop the raptor and get 2 western digital black 500GB's and RAID0 them. Or pay a bit more and get an SSD.

hi guys,

thanks for the advice wont be overclocking as not overely sure on how to still learning,

will have a look at wd black as never heard of them

anything else I should swap or change, and is it all compatible

If you are not overclocking - you might want to drop down to a cheaper motherboard, this one should do you fine. Also, 2000MHz RAM won't give you much of a speed boost - this stuff would be a better bet.

Might want to use the money saved up the graphics card to a 4890.

Also - that OCZ 700W modular PSU has not got the best rep- may want to switch to a corsair.
