Ok, so, I've ordered the new desktop. No trolling intended. I guess most people come here with some idea of what they're after, whereas I genuinely had no clue. Gunslinger has basically taught me as much as possible in the past couple of weeks. Apologies for annoying people

This is what I've gone for:

What do people think, out of curiosity?

I'm also having it built and overclocked (just a tad), by Aria as I'm not quite ready to take that step just yet. When it turns up I have every intention of taking a side panel off and having a look inside, but wouldn't want to start from scratch

Very excited about it to be honest

Thanks to everyone that contributed.

Good solid selection i think, and good value too, will be interested to see it in the flesh

... congrats

It'll be a beast mate.

Enjoy.

EDIT: No SSD in the end?

**Cosford** · 12-06-12

Will be a nice rig.

**Stefan** · 12-06-12

Yeah, for some reason the SSD had dropped out oddly. I've stuck it back in there. That's one of the things I'm most excited about having

Cheers guys

Yeah it'll be a proper beast.

Nice PC mate.

probably cause it's out of stock right now, the wish list thing does some weird things with items that are in anyway out of the norm, be it special deal or on order.

EDIT:
I forgot to address the question of dual monitors ..... tough for me to argue against, as both my desktop machines have dual monitors, for different reasons, one is because i had a spare monitor left over and it wasnt worth selling, the other i actively searched a smaller matching panel to stand on it's end next to my 27" one.
However, right now, i'd say go for the single, and then later see about 2 smaller ones to go to the sides, as i am sure you'll want them for the gaming, and from what i've read, it's much more immersive with a triple setup plus prices on monitors are getting cheaper and cheaper, or you could grab a couple second hand
