'Sup 'puter dudes.
I'm hoping to build my first PC with my bare hands so I can feel dead proud of myself and I'm just wondering if the parts I'm considering all go together and aren't a complete barrel of crud:
- Asus M5A97 R2.0 Motherboard
- AMD FX 4170 Processor
- Xigmatek Asgard ATX Case
- Seagate Barracuda 500GB HDD
- EVGA GeForce GTX 660
- Corsair DDR3 XMS3 8GB
- Corsair Builder Series CX 500W PSU
Have I missed off anything crucial? I feel like I probably have considering the last time I ever did anything like this was intalling extra RAM and an LED fan on my 'Time' desktop about 10 years ago and thinking I was God's gift to electronics.
Anyway all of that comes to around a neat £500 which is the budget I'm trying to stick around.
Also is Windows 8 s***? Should I stick to Windows 7?
Any help, opinions and unwarranted insults are welcome.
Cheers
