This should do nicely. There's decent overclocking potential there as well. You should be able to take the processor to at least 4.5ghz.

A couple of people have ordered that graphics card here and received the Sapphire 7870 ghz edition, not the generic one pictured.

If you want a cheaper copy of windows you can download the W7 trial and activate it with the key from Amazon for €39.

Thank you for the list of parts I've gone over them and there doesn't seem to be a problem. I'm just wondering if i need any extra sata cables since this is my first build i won't have any lying around. Also will I be able to use the USB 3.0 ports on the motherboard? Since I didn't see any on the case.

BloodBath

The board should come with 2 sata cables so you're covered there.

You can use the rear usb3 ports on the board but not the headers for front case ones as the case doesn't have usb3. You could get a different case or add a drive bay usb3 expansion thingy. (No idea what they are called)

Ok thanks again!:D

Yeah, I received the Sapphire GHZ edition last week instead of the Generique. Also, Pixmania are doing free delivery at the moment so it's €150 as opposed to €160.

Henmistro

Sorry but I have one last thing to ask, is there a mother board that is similar to the one you recommended but is compatible with windows 8?

BloodBath

It doesn't matter what os you use. The board is compatible with any of them.

Henmistro

OK!

Seems to no longer be available?

Well that's it for cheap copies of windows I guess unless anyone else knows of legal alternatives?
