Hello! It's my first time putting a computer together and I want to to work well. I came to Tom's Hardware because I saw on other topics was that ye know a LOT when it comes to computer. Here are a few things that I would like to mention before starting.
Approximate Purchase Date: I would love to have it for Easter Holidays(1st April) but I can wait a bit longer if it's worth waiting.
Budget Range: £,1300/ $2,000/ €1,500
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, internet usage and office programs such as microsoft word.
Parts Not Required: speakers and headphones.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Amazon.co.uk
Country: I am living in Ireland and want to import everything from EU.
Parts Preferences: I would like to use Intel processor and Geforce graphics cards (I have no idea about any Radeon cards) and well known brands (with good feedback) such as Asus, Evga, etc.
Overclocking: Maybe in future but not at the moment.
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe in the future but not at the moment.
Additional Comments: I don't mind if the computer will be a bit noisy, but I don't want something that sounds like a helicopter.
I have also spent a while looking around myself and came up with these parts for my build:

What Do ye think? Will this work well together? Should I wait for the new Intel Processors to come out (I am not going to buy them if they will be really expensive, and maybe they will push the price down on the current processor I have picked out to save money)? Should I wait for the new GeForce 600's Graphics Cards ( same story as processor)? Do ye have any other suggestions on the parts i.e. get different processor, wait for new ones coming out etc..
Please help me out, I am looking forward to hearing different ideas. Thanks in advance.
