Looks great dude Maybe go for an AX650 instead? Apart from that it looks near perfect

 

[yassarikhan786]

Yeah, a fully modular PSU would be within your budget. As above, other than that it looks pretty fantastic.

 

[dalewakelin]

Dont pay more than £50 for windows 8, all you get is a sticker if you get the expensive one Also how much ram are planning on getting?

 

[PEXON]

Get a Silverstone Strider instead of the HX, no reason not to go fully modular at that budget dude.

 

[JiggaHertz]

How do you get W8 for £50???

 

[Yeti]

how much ram are planning on getting?

8gb (2x4)

 

[dha07]

looks good, maybe a better corsair psu you could try and im sure you could squeeze in 16gb ram if you wanted, there's always somewhere offering 16gb on offer as cheap as most 8gb

 

[Pr3d4t0r]

looks fine to me matey,

hx might be little overkill but doesnt hurt, also windows 8 :/

 

[Yeti]

windows 8 :/

typo.

Thanks for all the replies.

ok so this is the updated spec:


CASE: NZXT Phantom 410 Gunmetal

CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K

CPU COOLER: Noctua NH-D14

MOTHERBOARD: MSI Z77A-G45

SSD: Crucial m4 128gb

GPU: Gigabyte WindForce GeForce GTX 670

RAM: 8gb (4x2) Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 1600MHz

PSU: Corsair AX Gold 650w (Fully Modular)

OS: Windows 7 (64bit)

OPTICAL: LG GH24NS95 (cheapo)

FANS: 3x140mm NZXT FZ

TOTAL: £1060 (including p&p) -using 2 sites

(switched psu to AX, graphics card (found cheaper on deal)

However there is one thing bugging me about the build, theoretically i would be spending £120 on the nzxt mid tower / extra fans (no included dust filters & psu cooler would be tight -I've heard) this is starting to put me off since i could get full tower (which i assume is better long term) for the same £££ if not a little more.. which would still be in budget. If i got rid of the case/fans i would be left with £160. Any suggestions on what i should do?

Cheers.
