Hey, so to be able to play TF2 again I'm going to need to get a new PC. All I have of the one I used to use is a mouse, keyboard and my headset. I've got about a grand to spend and I've got a build list ready but having people look over would be really helpful. Here's my build so far:

I'm aware I can get the OS cheaper elsewhere but it's there so everyone knows what I'm going for. Anything I need to know about building a PC for the first time that everyone seems to forget? I stuck it on reddit's /r/buildapc too if people wanaa have a look: http://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/271yh4/build_ready_1000_build_for_gaminglevel_design3d/
