Massive thanks just picked up my prize from the post office today! Was wondering if anyone out there would fancy recommending me a good mobo/cpu & Graphics card for this build, im thinking either Linux steam stream or a Windows box for living room gaming

Hey so glad your happy, what is your ideal budget to fill the case?

around 300 to 400. my main build is decent so was thinking of streaming most of my games over steam.

Affordable little AMD - MSI steam streamer.
