Good day, kind sir!

I joined last night but I'm sure it isn't too late for a quick introduction! I stuck an article in the news section over here in the hope that someone may like it enough to hire me as a news writer.

I have a lot of loves: hardware, gadgets and gaming being just a few. Originally from Manchester but now living in Cambridgeshire.

I used to have a couple of laptops which I used for gaming but I decided that, if my laptop ever lost the good fight, I would move to a desktop and something simple, like a Chromebook, for portability. My laptop did die. I tried to find a replacement fan + heatsink as a whole part but that didn't work. I tried to replace the fan myself but the sheer amount of solder left me with a few burns and an almighty mess. Now, I have all my parts for a desktop, except for the GPU. All I need is a GTX 970! :D

Intel i5 4690
Thermalright AXP-100 Muscle
ASUS H97I-PLUS MITX
Kingston Fury 8GB White RAM
Corsair 250D
Kingston Fury 120GB SSD
Seagate 1TB Barracuda
Corsair RM550

I don't have any decent peripherals yet... A basic Logitech K200, Microsoft mouse and my monitor is an old LG TV but I'm getting there. Everyone starts out with nothing, right? I would love to eventually have a 4 way SLI, custom cooled, X99 based system. But until then, a locked Haswell Refresh will suffice. The white and gold looks good together so I'm happy with it!

Once again, hello!
 
Solid system start you've got there and as you've seen from Tom' review a 970 is a killer card to go for!

Welcome to the forums and a further love for all things PC hardware
