Hi there guys,

Just need a bit of advice as my PC of 8years has just died on me (motherboard fault). I've been thinking of building a new one from scratch but just wanted some reassuring that I'm going for the right parts. With this list I've already got the graphics card, ram and I've also got 1x1tb HD and 1x500gb HD. Any advice is much appreciated!

if this is gaming orientated then you went too heavy on the CPU and mobo combo and skimped on the GPU. If this is more work station orientated then you're fine.

Yeah I definitely use this more as a workstation, but use it for casual gaming, mostly RPG's.
Cheers fellas!
