Can anyone offer any further suggestions? I plan to play games such as ETS2 and BF4 as well as a bit of other stuff on a 32 inch HD monitor.

I don't really want to spend much more money than this.

What are the reviews like on this mobo? Is it good? Is my video card good for the money? And what about the RAM?

Thanks for any help you can offer

Why you going 1866mhz? You can save a few bucks and do 1600mhz instead

I found that specific RAM for him because it's a cheaper version of the other RAM he had chosen to begin with.
he could ofcause save a little more money, but as far as i remember he wanted something with 1.5V. Is that right?

I looked around again, and i found these
Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9) - PCPartPicker United Kingdom
you can save an extra 6½ dollars.

i personally would still have chosen your current RAM. 1866 is easier to clock CasL with.

Thanks again I think I'll stick with my current RAM

It depends how much he needs and what he will be storing..

I have a 1TB in my system. I currently have used 650GB. SO 1 TB is good enough for me

Well if your like me I like to horde my games because I don't want to re download them because my internet is slow
