I would go with whatever is the best fit I guess. I have no preference to be honest!

Hi, I've had a look at recent posts and think I may go with SterlingArcher's recent post:

Intel Xeon E3-1230v3 Bx, LGA1150
Antec One, ATX, ohne Netzteil
8GB-Kit Crucial Ballistix Sport Series
DDR3-1600, CL9
WD Blue 1TB 6Gb's
ASUS GTX760-DC2OC-2GD5, GeForce GTX
760, 2GB GDDR5
Corsair CX Series Modular CX600M, 600W
ASRock H87 Pro4, Sockel 1150, mATX
Asus VS248H (monitor)

I need windows also, so I'm thinking of Windows 7 64 bit home premium .

Any thoughts? Am I missing anything from this that anyone can think of? I'm a bit clueless as I've never bought components before.

Also, I would like to play Wildstar on the PC I reckon.

Thanks

Try squeeze in an ssd If you can. It cuts loading times. HDD is perfectly fine for large storage. but an ssd for your Windows 7/8 and main programs. will make your computer load faster ,feel faster in general. You'll be glad you did.
