First post, first build

[talus]

Hi Everyone,

I'm about to order my first custom built PC but stumbled accross HEXUS and was hoping someone could tell me if I've made any stupid mistakes :-)

My build is here: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/talus/saved/XzTzK8

As well as the case here: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/silve...window-w-o-psu

And a differant CPU cooler which is here: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/silve...011-am2-am3-fm.

I'm hoping to use if to play the latest games on high settings at a good FPS and later, when the CPU begins to be the bottleneck, I hope to upgrade to an i5/7.

Thanks for any feedback.

I forgot:

I've also got a 3 year old harddrive and optical drive I'll take from my current PC.

You might need an extra case fan, since the RL04 case only comes with one 120mm fan. Also, I think you'll need to go for low profile RAM as your current RAM has heat sinks and will probably not fit in your case with your CPU cooler.

Thanks for the quick reply!

I forgot to mention I have two 120mm fans lying around anyhow so I'll sue those.

Thanks for the advice regarding the RAM, I didn't think of that.
