[Build Ready]My Birthday Build! Final Check.
Hey all,
Thought since its my birthday(real not reddit) it was time to pull the trigger on getting a computer for myself!
The build is a gaming/streaming rig, hence why I went to the 3770k over the 3570k and the 16gb of ram. Especially given my lower upload I will be going for more intensive encoding. I've found difficulty finding compatable 8gb sticks at resonable prices here in the UK so I stuck with 4x4gb.
The 750w PSU is to take advantage of effeciency that comes with lower usage, as well as upgrade room for a 2nd overclocked 7850 later on.
