Hello all,
Well after months of chopping and changing I finally bit the bullet and ordered the parts for my first gaming rig . On a tight budget (roughly €1100) and I had to buy all the peripherals as well but think I was able to make it work, parts should be here in sunny Ireland by the end of the week. I'm pretty happy with what I have ordered but would welcome any comments, I'll be using it for gaming mostly (The Witcher 2, Arkham City and mostly SWTOR). Wasn't sure about the Mobo but price won out in the end.
Without further ado here's the parts:
