Has been a while since i upgraded my pc but i have now got the bug to buy new parts lol
Here is a list of what i will be buying.
Case - Sharkoon Tauran Red version. PAID
Graphics Card - AMD 7870. When released hopefully XFX DD edition. Man i love those DD's (inuendo included)
Mobo - Asus Crosshair V. End of March
Cooler - Corsair H80 or H100. Depending on spacings and what i get for my coolers ( NZXT Havik 140mm and Thermalright IFX-14)
That is the list as of now. I intend on spraying the mesh red like i did to my Thermaltake case and also spraying the dvd drive red (dont be mad Tom)
If any body has any recommendations on the parts i have chosen feel free to butt in and tell me what you think i should get instead.
Hopefully you'll see an upadate on Tuesday when the case arrives.

I'd wait to see how the 7870 performs but it should fit the build nicely. Look foreward to seeing this

New Components = Win, waiting for new components = fail, though when i ordered my current psu for scan the DPD guy came and i was at school he left his slip thing and came back about half 4 just when i got back to check if anyone was home = WIN
wouldnt get the h80 tbh but the h100 with a quieter set of fans would be a briliant choice

That is what i am thinking but need to see if the case has the correct mounting holes for it. If not it will get modded i think.
Glad the components sound good. Gives me a chance to use my new camera too wohoo!!!
