Hi guys,

I'm creating a gaming rig spec and I came up with this. Problem is I haven't a clue whether it's compatible and its a little dear.

We need to try and get it to a little above £800.

Yeah looks OK, should be good for some high end gaming like :)

You considered getting a cheaper CPU if you want to get under budget?
