Hello men,
My first payday as a professional non-esport professional is upon me, and I'm thinking about splashing out and getting a proper gayming PC to replace my not-so-professional laptop. This will enable me to fight more easily on the electronic battlefield.
This is my budget build that I have created so far:

What do you think? Obviously this is not an absolute nerdslayer setup, but I don't know anything about this shit, so if anything seems really shit let me know.
Cheers boys

This is another list I was recommended, obviously on a different level pricewise to the one I have posted on CF, seem good if I can stump up the ca$h?
skylake's are the 6xxx series. ie i5-6600k. Prices will probably drop in a month or two from now, three at the very most.
Chances are, even with a super-duper PC, I will still be playing ET. Is there anything here (http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/THgPpg) that you think will make ET work like a shit? It seems to work in strange ways that nobody really understands, and I am slightly concerned about texture loading as AMD cards had issues a few years ago
Less than 250 euros now. But yeah it is probably too much considering your budget.
Try aftermarket.
Without system and monitor though :(
