Probably going to go with the Asus VP228HE for my monitor. System will be used purely for gaming.
900 is probs the max id spend on the pc itself(not including monitor/mouse etc).

It would be a great help if you could post the entire spec from the configurator (there is a Post to Forums link on there) including the unique URL to reconfigure.

Hi @ANDREW605, rather than truncating your spec in your post (and not detailing out all the components/options you've chosen, when you go through to purchase there's a handy link to format your chosen specification for the forums it also includes a handy link to modify the specification.

Can you please post your full specs. :)

Also, what monitor are you going to be using (we need to know the refresh rate and resolution to be able to give advice really)?

Ok thanks. You'll need to up the speed of your Ram, but others with far better knowledge than me will be able to help
