Hey guys,
So I have finally decided to build my own gaming rig as my laptop is much cop for the games I play. League of legends, team fortress 2. empire earth 3, COD and Counterstrike. I will be playing more recent games as they come out as well. I'm aiming for high graphics not necessarily ultra settings but if it is possible on the system id be happy.
I have done research and I think I have all the parts listed for the complete build and I am pretty sure there all compatible with each other.
Would this be a decent build, is there any complications like bottle necking, are any of these parts not very good, should I buy a sound card, is there anything else I need?? These are a few question I have. I'm new to this. Thanks Damien

Hey sportfreak,
Thanks for the quick reply :) Okay, so I think I will get the MSI GTX760 Twin Frozr 2GB ( the reviews of the card are very good) and as a power supply 800 watts does seem like a bit of overkill. How about a Antec Neo Eco 520C 80Plus Bronze 520W PSU http://www.msy.com.au/product.jsp?productId=10242
Would this be sufficient??
About an SSD I didn't think I would really need one and I could always buy...
I would get a GTX 760 or R9 270x depending on how far you would stretch your budget to give yourself some more futureProofing. Also with 1 card you don't need 800watts so maybe go with a 600 watt if you don't plan on going SLI.

Did you also consider getting an SSD if its within your budget.

About an SSD I didn't think I would really need one and I could always buy one later, I guess.

Would this build be good and will everything be compatible.
Thanks Damien
