Ok guys it that time of year again where i start looking at a new build. I though i would ask all you guys what you think and if you have any suggestions or changes. Hears and the specs and tell me what you think.

so these are the specs, any changes or suggestion would be great.

Wont be getting it straight away saving up my next 2 or three pay checks to pay for it.

Will be getting a new monitor, ssd and new speakers with it just not decided yet.
 
then i would say drop the bequiet thing and get a noctua and you can get a GTX 570 for £215 or so now, not going to mention the site but a quick google search and you will find it
 
For me, I went for the P8Z68V-PRO from ASUS, its upto you really, but does the UD7 justify its cost for you? But the Copperheads will look dynamite next to it, which is nice

Could you live with the 2500K instead of the 2600K?

Also, GTX 580 Twin Frozr II OC, I got mine from here.

If you are worried about their reputability, when I take delivery of mine tomorrow, I will update this post... btw delivery on that costs a bit more, I think I paid £368, but then I was able to schedule exactly when I wanted it delivered...

I would do this and throw in another 580 when they get cheaper.

That is a good build, i minght think about the 580 insted of the 560 sli. But i chose the be quite cooler because i like it more than the d-14. I don't care if the d-14 is better. I had a look at that RAM but i just think the copper head looks awesome on that board. My friend has that board and that RAM and it looks amazing. I have thought about the CPU and the i7 for gaming is just overkill i might as well go with the i5 and save a bit of money.

Yeah, the 2600k is pointless if it's just for gaming you wont get any extra benefit from it and with the money you save it can go towards the 580 plus if you go with the copperhead and the Dark Rock that brings the price down to £1185.06 giving you more to spend on a SSD and speakers

Yer they are cheaper than they normally are so i thought why not. And the monitor is amazing for the price. I use one of the smaller Samsung monitors at work and they are amazing.
 
Nice, I love the look of those speakers and the remote for them, shame they didn't make it wireless though.
 
Copying me getting a Samsung 24" are we???

How much was that one anyway mate?
 
erm.. 8GB of RAm... you do realise what triple channel means?

the RAM goes multiples of 3 and not twos!

hence the term triple channel.

to lob 8GB is a triple channel board is to take a slight dumpette on system performance.

this may help you a wee smidge

just sayin
