    First gaming PC build - Need some tips

    Alright so I'm going to be building my first gaming pc soon, since it is my first pc I'm going to be starting off with a budget of £650/$1000 then slowly add upgrades. Here is the pc - http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/1v8kb

    The upgrades I will be doing after a couple of months will be another Asus GeForce 650 Ti (my motherboard has two PCIe x16 slots), another SSD and HDD I will be getting a 1TB HDD and probably another 120GB SSD and then i will also be getting another case if the two GPU's don't fit.

    So would anyone be able to help me out with some of this and tell me if this pc is a good buy for a £650/$1000 budget.

    Oh and i already have the monitor, mouse, keyboard, wireless asus adapter and DVD drive. I'll be using a deathadder or abyssus 3500DPI (need help choosing) as the mouse and a microsoft sidewinder X4 keyboard.

    I would advise using dual monitors! Its sooo handy. And maybe 3 if your gfx card can handle it.

    But yeh, thats a nice PC.

    Alright and yeah i forgot to put that in the upgrades ill be most likely only be going up to 2 monitors and not 3 since i could watch lirik/summit1g/sacriel and just do random stuff while I'm on the other monitor playing a game, thanks.

    Yep. I tend to watch a program while playing a game. I'm just a pro at multi tasking

    Haha nice, I'm usually watching streams on my phone while i play DayZ can't really play any other games like BF3 at the moment i play on a samsung notebook haha get around 10-15FPS but I've gotten used to it now so i can't wait till i get this pc and can play it nice and smoothly and not avoid gun fights.

    If you was going to build you a gaming rig, I would suggest getting an Intel.
    Intel blows AMD away..

    Hmm i don't know, a lot of people still use AMD and say it is good, plus will i be able to get a good intel CPU for £86? Since i can get a 6300 for that and it is still a good CPU. Plus the motherboard i want doesn't work with intel CPU's
