Hello guys/girls,
I am returning to PC gaming after a long 7 years of being a console gamer/laptop user.
I am almost done putting together my new PC:

IMPORTANT NOTES:
I need to buy everything from ebuyer.com
I have around £170-220 left and need a:
- CPU cooler
- PSU
- Motherboard
- and Case
so I understand I may have to settle but I do need the GTX970 and a good CPU.
Things that may effect which Motherboard I should get:
I may be investing in a second GTX 970 in the next 2 years (So SLI might be needed? Not sure if it makes that much difference).
I may be overclocking if it is:
1 - Safe and Stable
2 - Beneficial enough for my FX 8350
These are some of the option I have found from my supplier:
Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P £52.52
MSI 970A-G46 AM3+ £58.82
Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 £65.00
Asus M5A97 R2.0 £68.39
Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P £71.30
MSI 970 GAMING £72.99
Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0 £80.00
MSI 990FXA-GD65 £87.20
These are also AM3+ motherboards available at eBuyer but were shown as incompatible on PC Part Picker. I don't know why :S
MSI 970A-G43 £51.90
MSI 970A-G46 £58.82
Many many thanks in advance!
Can't wait to get back
