The PC Upgrade

Over the last 4 or 5 years I have said a number of times that I wanted to upgrade, for a number of reasons (mainly money) it never was able to happen. With my career going well and finally in a situation to put money aside I was finally able to put the money aside and a computer was what I decided to buy first. I set myself a Budget of BELOW $1500 and thankfully I didnt just meet but that kept well below.

Current PC Specs:

Intel i5 760
Gigabhte GA-P55A-UD3R
G.Skill Ripjaws 4GB Kit (2 x 2GB) DDR3-1600
eVGA 1GB NVidia GTX460
Corsair HX650
Coolermaster Hyper 212+
Pioneer DVD Burner
Fractal Design R3
Logitech G110 Gaming Keyboard

For the moment I'm still using my Logitech MX1000 from the old system as well as my Samsung BBW 22" Monitor, for the first time in my life I've even overclocked. In the past I would never have risked it and I've been very conservative so far whilst I'm still learning.

 

I've been very happy so far, the next purchase will be a new LCD TV to replace my old 80cm Box TV, followed quickly by a decent sound system.

 

I can post a photo or two if anyone in interested in having a look, I am also willing to write my thoughts on any components people are looking at for themselves... The Fractal Design R3 is a fantastic case especially for the price.

 

Im going to leave it at that for now. If you have seen a part you want to ask about or would like me to go in to more detail let me know.
