PC Build - p01

Started on a new PC build today. Its been many years since my last full build So this will be a large investment to be implemented over 2 to three months.
My view is that it will be a very capable all round unit with fast graphics and geared more toward the upper end of the market but nonetheless not going too over the top. I will not, for example, be running a Xeon CPU, and perhaps not twin graphics cards either. Regardless, lets see what the next few weeks brings shall we?? :)
Today, a CPU (from alphacity.co.nz) - 1 x Intel Core i7 2600K Unlocked Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz 8MB Cache LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Hyperthreading Processor.
Thats $385.97 + GST and shipping.
