Im using it just to browse the interweb !!!

nah WOW, CoD Black Ops when its out also the older ones 2, 4 and modern warfare, Mafia 2 if its any good?
Just hardcore gaming really and also Watching HD Content like movies and that.
 
are you an overclocker? that board is for guys who wanna smash benchmarks
you could save yourself a bundle with a just as capable board but for far less money.

Yakyb is spot on. for this kind of money you should include an SSD
to use as a bootdrive and a sammy F3 500GB alongside for storage.

we can look at the GPU wen we get the core of your system into place

Nice system but like what has been said above for all that money you want a better graphics card + an ssd drive, here is a system spec i did yesterday for someone, the case and the mobo are a lot cheaper but still very good, Also just change the monitor to a 24" and adjust the price

Any overclocking? Dont seem to have an after market cooler in your list?

PSU is quite meaty if your only using one GPU.

Some top range parts in there. I'd shift a few bits around to get a second 460 and an SSD, and a decent CPU cooler.

The monitor you have chosen is a fantastic monitor, but if your gaming and watching movies its probably overkill. Saying that the monitor is one of the most important parts of your kit.

No Bluray?

Yeh just trying to get the main bits like motherboard as good as i can stick lesser bits in for the time then upgrade the Graphics and CPu cooler as time goes on and ill be overclocking when the CPu shows slow downs, if u get my drift?

Click to expand...

SSD & CPU cooler yes and yes, but i dont think we wanna look at 2 460s
not for the resolutions hes going to be playing at with this new 24" monitor.

i think a single just as powerful card is wots needed. to sli in future

i dont think the 1000W psu is such a bad idea. it wont be changed until
its burnt out after 10years. its worth the investment. along with the monitor.
 
Yea but i really dont save much its just gonna store games and OS and the odd movie.
And i cant always invest later in a bigger drive + i got 500gb External.
