Looks good - think that I would go for a Vertex 3 or new Corsair Force series. If he got the money I'd get the fully modular AX psu as well, it'll make the build much neater, and cable management will be a breeze.

I assume you're going for a 2500K at that price?

do not forget to charge him for putting it all together too

(plus installing the software and tweaking it for him/her)

EDIT: i charge anywhere between £120 and £150 for doing it, as sometimes it is straight forward and other times it is a PITA, and could take longer than a days' work

you put i5 2600k in first post is why they questioned it

6gb ram is a tripple kit, you either need 4 or 8 for the dual channel mobo dude

 

[BoS]

Corsair Vengeance won't fit under the D14 unless it's the low profile version.

 

[GODuk]

@ S_I_N. My mistake, im using my mobile, should proof read

lol

@Tom. Noted mate, did notice not long after posting but forgot to amend, will amend tonight at home.

@BoS. Cheers, will check for some low profile sticks.

My supervisor is giving me £50 yo build it for him

looking good

 

[GODuk]

looking good

Thanks, will start buying the stuff in about 2 weeks once he gets his wages.

I have updated the PSU & RAM

 

[GODuk]

Which RAM to get, the Corsair XMS3 8GB or 8GB Mushkin Radioactive?

Both are low profile.

I like the idea of the radioactive which will match the army style sabertooth mobo.

 

[GODuk]

*bumped* Question above

 

[Ya93sin]

Well I'd go with the Mushkin Radioactive tbh.

You looking at the 1600Mhz? On Aria, for 10p more, you get RAM with better clocks, lower voltage.

Thanks Ya93sin
