Chrizzt when it comes to RAM I favour 16GB over 8GB, just good to have that extra there, especially if you like using a lot of mods with your games, or if you're into video/photo editing or using other memory-intensive programs.

The rest of your build looks fine to me, the 750 Ti is a little bit weaksauce IMO it will do the job for a while but it's probably going to need to be upgraded to something better in a year or two. Any particular reason why you chose a micro ATX motherboard? The full size ATX version is only $4 more from what I can see.

I'll second LukeSA 's tip about modular PSU's, it's nice to not have a bunch of unused cables in your case. Makes things tidier all around.

What this isn't taking in to account is the amount of times we have posted something poo eckert and #godhatesfages related.
I am sure that has dragged down our average by at least 5 places.

another big factor: our quoting of their board hurts our average, but their quoting of our board improves theirs

Bethesda games on PC aren't the most optimised so it's probably better to overkill the specs.

And as usual the modding community will clean up the mess

Any other Star Wars fans over the hype train yet?

They prolly analysed the Bay

How did they find 10,000 words on GC or GWS?

Not interested in the slightest and I wore a Return of the Jedi t-shirt to my Year 1 swimming carnival

Same, actually.

I also couldn't care anymore and I know that the original title of that film was Revenge Of The Jedi.

I still drink Oak...even in the off season

Personally I'm stoked for it. Just because there is mega hype, doesn't mean it will be shit.

But then I remember this arseh*le

Fun fact: This thread alone has more posts than the entire GWS board.

Perhaps you should of been the guy who started the GWS instead.

Shush you, now if you excuse me I have to go change my PIN number so I can access some money at the ATM Machine so I can buy a LCD Display TV.

 

[Doctor Feel]

This is actually in the new star wars.

Not after I saw this ad on Gruen the other night. Brilliant.

 

[Doctor Feel]

This is interesting I guess.

I'll upgrade the gpu in 6 months or so once I've got a bit more cash and figured this one should at least do a decent job in the meantime. I'm not huge on graphics or running uber graphics mods.
I don't know much about motherboards but can't see myself making many changes beyond the new gpu eventually. Is there any downside to micro v full size?

There isn't really much difference in ATX sizes other than micro-ATX is made for compact PC builds.

Some games are more demanding than others so a more powerful GPU gives you are more solid performance with less FPS drops. If you are looking for a solid card for minimal expenditure, a GTX 960 might be a good piece to upgrade too, the price at around $350.
