Well, I've finally made it!

I'll list some specs - and the pictures will come hopefully over the weekend when I get time.

CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965
Motherboard: Gigabyte MA790XT-UD4P
RAM: 6 GB OCZ DDR3 Tri-channel PC3-12800C8
HDD: 1 TB Samsung Spinpoint F3
Optical Drive: Samsung SH-S223B DVD+/- Multi-rewriter
Case: Antec Nine Hundred
Monitor: 23" Acer v233Hb 1080p HD
Graphics: Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5750 1 GB GDDR5 PCI-E, DirectX 11
PSU: OCZ ModXStream Pro 700W

Well, it was a bit of a hairy experience at first, but when I got into it, it wasn't too bad. Basic first-timer stuff I suppose. Grin

Pictures coming soon...

Cool, nice build.

What are you using for an optical drive, audio and network?

Optical drive is above. Smiley
Samsung SH-S223B DVD+/- R(W)

Audio is onboard. So is network - I don't need an NIC because the only way I can connect to the Internet is via a 3G USB modem.

Very nice, I missed the OD listing, obviously.

I was pretty sure you were only using the onboard for the other two, but thought I would ask anyway.

Do you mind if I ask what it set you back?

No problem.

It was just over €1200 - including delivery (which was fairly expensive).

And thanks to anyone and everyone that helped me, BTW.

Ah, it looks like the driver for my phone isn't installing properly. I'll have to get them onto the laptop and transfer them instead.

Well, I take that back. Finally got the time to go about getting it to work and I did just that - eventually.

So, here are the long-awaited images: Grin
