    Hey guys building a new gaming pc. My budget is €1200 but has to include a monitor in there also. I have OS keyboard mouse etc. Obviously the cheaper this comes out the better. I will be overclocking a lot so have to keep temps down. All prices from harwareversand.

    CPU: i5-760 = 180.66
    MB: Gigabyte UD3 = 114.29
    CPU Cooler: Scythe Mugen 2 = 32.99
    RAM: 4gb Geil value 1600 = 93.46
    HDD: Samsung F3 1tb = 55.18
    PSU: Corsair HX650 = 114.87
    GPU: Palit gtx460 1gb = 196.26
    Case: Not sure
    Monitor: Not sure

    So that comes to 786 without a case and monitor.

    Will that psu be enough for overclocking maybe another drive or two and another gtx 460 in the future?

    As for case I don't care what it looks like just as long as everything fits in there and is kept cool. Don't want to spend much on that. Any ideas?

    Any ideas on a monitor? Something 1080p around 21" - 24". Has anyone tried 3D monitors are they just a fad?

    Thanks.
