Hello & welcome to the forums!

The spec looks great, everything is compatible with one another. Good choice of CPU, HDD, GPU, PSU you've obviously done your homework!

Thanks Meds, I thought it was a good spec for the money, but its nice to get a second opionion. You can always get a better spec machine but then you have to pay more, its a shame it works that way

Thanks for your post.
