Hello,
I was tempted to build a gaming PC but have always used Mac OS so was put off the idea. I then decided that a new desktop computer (use a MacBook Air as my daily driver) would be ideal for work at home. Decided I could kill two birds with one stone and build a PC with two SSD's, one for Mac OSX and one for Windows.
After months and months of research I decided on the part list below.
Any thoughts or comments welcome. Will keep you posted on the build and hopefully help anyone else out with an issues I come across as I go along!
Cheers

Updated the RAM to G.Skill Ripjaws X Series. This is because of known problems with Corsair RAM in Haswell builds and this memory module is in the UD4H supported RAM list.
Edit 2
Have decide to downgrade to i5 CPU and only 8gb of RAM after research on my application and usage. Could not justify the additional cost!
