        What sort of motherboard did you go for in the end to mount all that goodness onto? I haven't done desktop build for ages but I usually go for the second from latest Asus in either the AMD or Intel lines depending on the processor.

                :thumbsup: That is how it should be done. Though, I'd have gone for at least a 512GB SSD. The only reason I haven't upgraded my desktop at work is because they only offer a 256GB SSD (I am already using about that much, and plan to use more with VM's). Oh well, I guess the nice thing about a custom desktop build is that the hard drive can be really easy to upgrade.

                        Interesting, thanks. If I get the job I'm after that might go on my Christmas list. :)
