So, I’ve gone a bit over budget £600ish, but I think I’ve got a good robust system that can be overclocked and upgraded in the future.

MASSIVE thanks to everyone who has given me advice, and special thx to CAT and Staffs for their help.

Photos good

Putting the bits together is not very hard, getting cables neat is a bit of an art form.
BIOS setting can get confuseing
Installing windows and all your software is easy but very time comsumeing.

have a look in this thread, plenty of good advice
