Hi All,

Hi,
stulid - I have a win7 license here so no need for an OS. Not sure I am quite ready for win8 yet. Prime use is gaming, currently skyrim (sniping at range is difficult with a poor draw distance...)

Thanks for the build that looks good, like the ssd. Never used a an ATI before. always been an nvidia guy but willing to try anything.

Thanks

An AMD CPU option.

Plenty of colour matching despite the case not having a sidewindow, but it does have a switch able LED illumination system.
