Hello everyone,

So I'm a new member to TomsHardware, and have recently decided I want to build my own PC...

I don't know a huge lot about all of this so could really do with some of your expertise!

I've been shopping around and doing some research, and have concluded a final build... Only problem is I'm not sure if I've covered everything, and I'm not 110% if it will all be compatible... Yikes.

Before I start, I will primarily be using the computer for work - softwares that I use can rack up the usage very quickly. I also enjoy PC gaming so would like to be able to have that option open to me.

Overall I want a good all rounder.

Hi matt

What resolution is your monitor ? a gt 640 is not a good card for gaming tbh

Your power supply is also over kill for that card

And you can't survive on an SSD alone. At least I think u can't. Didn't see any SATA HDD

Thanks for the feedback greatly appreciate it.

What wattage would you suggest? And Graphics card?

The monitor is 1080P, and I soon plan to run dual monitors...
