Hey all,
Finally getting my own gaming rig!
Now on advise of lot's of people, I will be building it myself
(asking a friend to assist though).
Here's my info!!
Approximate Purchase Date: End of July or end of August.
Budget Range: 1100-1200€ (PC only).
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Mostly gaming!
Are you buying a monitor: Yes, probably ordering the the VG248QE soon.
Do you need to buy OS: No, got a Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit ready.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: hardwareversand.de, amazon.co.uk, dabs.ie, pixmania.ie.
Location: Dublin, Ireland.
Parts Preferences: Intel CPU & NVidia GPU.
Overclocking: Yes, probably. At least I would like to have the ability!
SLI or Crossfire: Probably in the future.
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080, 144hz.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Laptop broke, plus I want a 'future proof' gaming PC to run anything without any issues.

Would everything be compatible?
Now I think I've arranged a pretty decent and awesome build here, but then again I am no expert.
Very nice GPU with the new 770 and with a MOBO that supports SLI so I can add another 770 in a year or something.
(That's also why I went for the 750W PSU, to be ready for a SLI).
I think the R4 is a really decent case.
I would like to get some advice as well on if I would want the Asrock Z77 Extreme3 or the Extreme4. It is only 15€ deerer. But what would I get for it? An eSata slot what I probably will never use?
Now I know this build doesn't include an SSD.
I do want an SSD, but it's not a requirement for me to start off. I can buy an SSD maybe two or three months later.
If I want to add an SSD to my build now, it's going to be a ~120GB one, due to budget.
If I add it a little later, it can be a ~250GB one.
How much would I want my SSD to be?
Operating system and my favorite games I suppose.
Oh and also, would you want to get a PCI audio card?
Now there is still some room in the budget.
Any thoughts, concerns and advice is greatly appreciated.
