It took me a while to find the exact parts I wanted for my computer, and I'm happy to tell you that I think I found just the right parts for my new pc.
I am using my pc for gaming, and gaming only. I wanted a machine that could run Garry's mod in high everything. That was my first game I bought from steam, and I was using a potato that I have no idea how it actually ran GMOD in the first place. Hint hint, it was a Mac. After building this and finding out I could play Garry's my in 210FPS, I was just amazed that battlefield could run at 60FPS with no lag, Unlike my PS3.
I was very nervous while building my PC. But I got it done and I was very happy. I did (after about 4 months) electrocute my hard drive, I crossed my fingers as I booted up my PC. Luckily my PC hadn't been fu****, or I would've cried.
Note: I am aware of my terrible cable management. And one of the pictures of the fan looks really dusty... But I just cleaned it about and hour ago. And the GST was $57!!
Anywho, I will now review my parts

Part Reviews
CPU
I'm very happy with this CPU although a quad core would've been awesome, but I'm absolutely fine with my 3.5GHz i3. It's great and hasn't had any faults. Thank god.
Motherboard
Just like any other mobo, this one was fine. Except I would not reccomed this to anyone.
Storage
This hard drive works perfectly fine, it has gotten slower over these 6 months of having my PC, and it will keep getting slower, but in the mean time it's great.
Video Card
Before you go off at me and tell me I should've got and AMD card I'm and NVidia fan and I love this graphic card. Goes well with my CPU. (Intel i3-4150)
Optical Drive
Optical Drive was the source of my hard drive getting electrocuted... And I'll never use it again now that I have installed spore on my PC <3
Monitor
BenQ GW2255: God, don't even get me started on this piece of ****... Okay so, first of all this monitor was $149 and was made by BenQ, so I assumed it had a HDMI port on it and that it would be really good. But, I was wrong. It only had VGA & DVI. I was devo. I payed $149 for a monitor with no HDMI Input. When my mum went down the street, to go buy herself a Samsung monitor for work, for $112, It had touch screen buttons and a HDMI input. Oh, I was pissed off. Also BenQ's drivers don't work, my uncle who's a tech expert didn't know what was wrong with the driver. I couldn't turn the brightness down due to the driver not working. So I had to download a third party program to turn it down, as the brightness level gave me headaches. I also can't get rid of the stupid 'suggested resolution' everytime I open a game. I've searched every where to fix this.
Keyboard
Awesome. Space bar was a little squeaky at first, bug it recovered.
Mouse
Awesome for its price! Would recommend. Has a great feel to it
