So perhaps this isn't JUST about computers

I'm starting to have second thoughts about the content of this blog, while I am going to include information about computer building I think I may throw in a few other topics as well, such as Video Games, Software, Or even just interesting little snippets of my life.

Speaking of which I officially started my diet today, I'm currently 175 lbs at 5 ft 8, and I'm looking to get down to around 150 or even less. I've actually got quite a bit of bodyfat and embarrasingly the dreaded "moobs".

Managed to actually eat a reasonable amount today, I've just eaten lunch and here is a list of everything I've eaten so far.

Weetabix and skimmed milk
Rice and chicken with soy sauce
Water
A Small amount of orange juice as a dessert (Don't call me crazy)

You see I have a bit of a yoghurt addiction, I eat about 5 or 6 a day sometimes. In order to combat this I have decided to drink a little orange juice to keep my sweet cravings away.

I hope that this is something interesting to you guys, just felt like sharing with you.

P.S Who is exited for Elder Scrolls V, Skyrim?

The boring post lacking information

Hello and welcome to my first blog. Long story short, I have decided to build my own computer and I will be brainstorming ideas and posting how I will build it step by step on here. I've always had a love for computers ever since I was a child but the thought of building one was always a baffling one. Thankfully I spent the last few months researching on the interne and hopefully within the next few months I'll have a top of the range gaming computer! Here are the specs I'm thinking about going with:

i5 2500K CPU
GTX 470 GPU
650W 80+ Corsair PSU
4GB G Skill Ripjaws 1333 RAM
CM 690 II
Spinpoint F3 1TB HDD
GA P67A-UD4
And of course the standard DVD Drive and whatnot.

Its been a bit of a pain to update my build since Sandy Bridge (The new Intel Chipset) came out the other day. Prices (and thankfully performance) have increased quite a bit.

Oh I'd just like to add that www.tinyurl.com/falconguide is probably the handiest guide on the net about learning to do this, so please spend some time reading it, it's incredibly helpful.
