Hi all,
Im a new member to the community here and after reading some responces i can see its a very welcoming and educated board. As such i am going to put forward my build (designed late december 2010 - early january 2011) with the hopes of some feedback and if needed some restructuring as i now have enough money to begin buying the rest of my system.
