First DIY Build

[Tankman]

Thanks for all the tips people. I will address some of the issues into the reasoning behind the build.

Halve the RAM to 8 gigs, 16 isn't necessary.

According to this page, I will need a minimum of 8 gigs to run Star Citizen (Presumably this also means Hanger Module, which I want to take out for a spin).

You're also paying waaaaaay over the top for that PSU. Here is an equivalent one, and though I've not used any Rosewill stuff myself they're generally considered a good name: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/rosewill-po...ly-hive650

The PSU was an adjustment determined by, mainly, a lack of time. I'm planning on digging into the issue more a bit later.

....at least 200bit bandwidth...

Wat?

3. Also if you can afford it, spend a bit extra and go for a 2TB hard disk. You'd be horrified how quick 1TB disappears, and 2TB is better dollars/gig.

Seeing as how it took 4 years to fill half my laptops 300 gig hard drive I don't see how I will ever fill up the 2 TB one. Though the dollars/gig thing is interesting.
