While impressive I feel I over did my build. See Im building a gaming PC with the budget of £1000, I'm a little over and heres what Im planning on building.

Though if they dont mind throwing some of that RAM this way? No? Awwh...
Costing me 10 months of wages ¬_¬
Gaming on Linux? Even with all that, it's gonna run pretty slow, if at all. Mine (admittedly pretty crap, but good enough on Windows for medium-high settings) only runs source games at absolute lowest settings, thats a 640x480 window with everything turned to low, and even then it gets about 10 fps. Like I said, thats if you can get the game running, since half the time you can't even get through the installation. Once you start the game, theres bound to be bugs, problems with textures, etc. I can't even bear to play anything, I'm desperate to get my (runs Crysis on highest settings) Windows pc back. So yeah, gaming on Linux? Really?
