#1 They are left over from a previous build. Will use them for games or a scratch disc.

#2 The samsungs are storage only. No need for blistering performance

#3 The cooler is quiet, great at cooling SB chips and doesn't foul the memory as it is so compact. Lokk at TTL's review on

I'd save yourself £30 by going for the P67 vs the Z68, after doing some reading I don't think its worth the additional cost, especially as your are using high end ssd's & a discrete gpu.

Had problems with WD drives before whilst I have a home server with 8x samsumg 2tb f4s and they have never missed a beat in 24/7 operation for over a year. Stick to what you know and trust I guess.

Samsung have been bought out.

I personally went for a 2600K and a 580, but I went for an 850W. Are you OC'ing?

Noctua NH-D14 is a beast of a cooler, if you were overclocking, then that is a good choice.

For storage, WD Green's are easily the way to go, SSDs are unnecessary for storage. I can understand if you're worrying about loading times, but 2x SSDs is a huge waste.

You could easily cut out a few hundred pounds expenditure without losing any performance.
