Hi everyone,

I am looking to build a rig and as I am quite new to this I am looking for some feedback. I have done my research so I think I am on the right lines. I am looking for a good gaming rig. Basically I would like to know:

a) How good are the components that I have chosen? Are there better alternatives in the same price bracket?
b) Are all of these components compatable with each other?
c) Have I missed anything that I will need?
d) Any other advice that comes to mind.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Solution
It looks like it will a pretty killer build once it's up.
Everything looks like it is able to work together.
Only thing you may or may not be missing is if you are water cooling or air cooling. The case you selected allows for three more fans at the top. Just something to keep in mind.
It should come along really nicely.
Good luck have fun!
