Hey guys, Ihave worked out build sheet - going AMD route this time round. ('m not too impressed with 1155 socket, & 2011 is too pricey)
Prices are roughly what I have found, but will keep searching for cheaper (bear in mind I live in Australia & things are much expensive here)
If you think I have gone too far/too low, or hate it/love it, please say. All suggestions welcome
