Hi,
I've made what I think is quite a bold decision and decided to try to build
my own PC for first time. I've worked out what I think I need but I would
appreciate it if anyone could take a look through my list and let me know
what they think.
Have I forgotten anything? Is all the stuff compatible? Is anything just
total rip off?
I want it to be good enough that I can play the latest games on it with
decent performance. I'm in the UK. For convenience, I'm planning to order
everything from dabs.com.
