    Hi guys,
    I'm about to start my 1st ever build and have so far picked out the below, any help is appreciated.

    1. What is your budget? [N/A as I'm getting parts through work]

    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? [Gaming/internet] Mainly FPS, COD and DayZ, Arma 3

    3. Do you need a copy of Windows? [Yes]

    4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? No

    5. Do you need a monitor? [Yes, stuck on this one]

    5a. If yes, what size do you need. [ 23" ? ]

    5b. If no, what resolution is your current monitor and do you plan to upgrade in the near future?

    6. Do you need any of these peripherals? [??]

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking? [Yes if it's not too difficult]

    8. How can you pay? [Cash/Paypal/Visa]

    9. When are you purchasing? [June]

    10. If you need help building it, where are you based? [Will trying building it myself for the experience, but in Dublin ]


    It's looking like this so far, any advice is welcome

    Case = Cooler Master CM Storm Enforcer - USB3 ( Bought )
    Mobo = ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 S1155 Intel Z77 DDR3 ATX(Possibly going to wait until 06/06/13 to see how the Z87 motherboards are priced)
    CPU = Intel Core i5-3570K(Again possibly going to wait until 06/06/13 to see how the Haswell series CPUs (4670k) are priced)
    GPU = EVGA GeForce GTX 660 SUPERCLOCKED 2048MB GDDR5(possibly a 2nd, got 3 at a good price :) ) ( Bought )
    Memory = G.Skill 8GB (2 x 4GB) Ripjaws-X DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz CL9
    PSU = Corsair 750W Enthusiast Series TX750
    Drives:
    WD 1TB CAVIAR BLUE 64MB 7200RPM 3.5"
    Samsung 128GB 840

    Struggling with the following:
    Keyboard ( would prefer Red LED backlight to go with the colour scheme, I know ! )
    Mouse ( Same as above with possibly 7-8 buttons )
    Cooler
    Monitor ( Want to play games at Ultra setting )

    Feel like I'm going around in circles, almost there though.
