After years of messing around with computers I've finally decided to build one from scratch.

All the bits ordered, awaiting their arrival in the next few days.

Don't play much in the way of games, so need for graphics card - you are limited to the resolution/spec of your monitor anyway

4 gig ample for my current needs - can take 16 so no problem there.

System cost just over 200 squids.
