By the end of this month I'm planning to have completed my first ever build. I'll be caniibalising a few parts from my old pc and looking to buy motherboard / CPU / RAM / Case and ideally an SSD if budget allows.
I want to spend around £400-500 and realistically no more than that and I'm trying to squeeze as much quality as possible into this build. But i'm finding the idea daunting and want to do it right. I would absolutely love a white case that's particularly first builder friendly. I primarily play World of warcraft, league of legends and Borderlands currently but really want to have a machine capable of playing current FPS games with decent results, I haven't been able to because of money for <5 years and I really crave a good machine.
I've had plenty of back and forward chats with a good friend of mine and his suggestions (with a little of my own input) is here:
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/XKvcFT Note PSU, HDD and GPU I already own and plan to use.
I'm conscious of the physical size of my GPU can be a problem with plenty of cases and I really want something to look neat, tidy and have good heat management (probably goes without saying I guess)
So Tomshardware community. Help me, you're my only hope.
(real though any critique is absolutely valued and appreciated, be as critical as possible)
