    Hi guys, thoughts on the following parts (upgrading from a Core 2 Duo, 4GB machine):
    • Intel Core i5-4590 - 3.3GHz - Socket 1150
    • ASUS H81M-PLUS - Socket 1150 - Micro-ATX (micro ATX because I might get a smaller case in the future, the case I have supports it, Antec P150)
    • Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB - PC3-12800 - DIMM
    Probably all from komplett (can get VAT off ;) )

    I have a PSU/case/HDs/monitor/mouse/keyboard already.
    Also have a GTX 460 (plan to replace with a GTX 880 when they are released), machine will be browsing and media mostly but some gaming! :)
