Hi guys i'm planning to buy my first desktop computer (up until now i've always used laptops). Anyway i'd just like some feedback on whether you think this computer build will be worth the money? I would like it to be able to play all the modern games, I also will be doing alot of film encoding, and heavy Matlab usage.
The only think that i'm not sure about is whether the power supply will be good enough and whether any extra cooling would be recommended.
Heres the build, i'm planning to get a 23" dell ultrasharp monitor aswell
thanks in advance
John
