Hi guys,
I'm nearly ready to order all the parts for my new and first decent gaming build But as it's been quite a few years since I built a rig I would really like a few more pairs of eyes to thoroughly check this over for incompatibilities or anything I may have over looked.
I haven't fully decided on a mouse & KB and the monitor yet but I have list a couple I'd considered but I am completely open to suggestions???
It's main use will be gaming and lots of movies, and I would like to do a bit of mild OC'ing.
