Afternoon people at Tom's.
I've decided to take an adventurous leap, and build my own PC as i'm fed up with laptops, generally their performance.

Below I posted some builds which I may be interested in, and would very highly appreciate your thoughts on them. What I am looking for is advice, criticism will do fine, and any improvements.
Please keep in mind I am working on a budget. I'd like not to spend too much on parts, considering I have just purchased a new car.
Once again, thank you for reading/commenting.

Any and all comments are welcome. Please do suggest improvements. Thanks guys.

I did originally plan on getting the H97 for the i5, but i'm having to replace my old monitor, thus i'll be short of funds. But yes, as a future upgrade (mid 2015) I plan on buying the H97.

Not a clue at the moment, but i'm hoping I can get a decent one with good res for a good price. If my old monitor didn't die on me, i'd get the H97 I wanted :eek:
