Good build although I would get a 270 and some G.Skill Ripjaws X series RAM.

tiny voices · May 23, 2014

That is a DELL OEM copy of windows. Get a legit copy.

GPU link is dead. So is disk drive link

You have no PSU listed either/

tiny voices · May 23, 2014

The gtx760 is better than the 270.

Deleted member 1300495 · May 23, 2014

here is a comparison: http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-R9-270-vs-GeForce-GTX-760. The 270 is much cheaper.

tiny voices · May 23, 2014

GPU boss is not a good benchmark to use as they use a SINGLE benchmark for each category. Generally I do not use them. Plus they count hings like noise, power, etc. in their rankings, and these make no difference in performance.

In reality, the gtx760 is a bit better than the 270x and there fore a decent bit better than the 270.

Thanks dude, sorry im tired

, any places you know where I can get a decent copy of w7?

tiny voices · May 23, 2014

Why not get win8.1?

tiny voices :

Really dont like the new way the start screen and everything is designed

tiny voices · May 23, 2014

It is a better all around OS and is faster for most games but whatever.

maybe I haven't given it enough of a chance but, I feel like I can't navigate to things like My Computer and stuff like that on it. Thanks for the link, and is the build ok then, will it fit together all right, as far as you know? And the RAM you recommended is 80 quid here :L. Is there any cheaper decent RAM you could recommend?

tiny voices · May 23, 2014

The build looks fine.

Since the Aria one will be very expensive with shipping as well.
this one?

tiny voices · May 23, 2014

That RAM is fine too.

tiny voices :

Ok so I ve bought everything, do I need to purchase any cables or anything extra?

tiny voices · May 23, 2014

No, SATA cables will come with the motherboard. You should be good to go.

What PSU did you get?

Should be a solid build.

Hey, I was just looking at the dimensions of the card I am getting to check that it can fit inside the case, and I am little bit worried because on the amazon page it says:40 x 25 x 6 cm http://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-Nvidia-TF-PCI-E-Graphics/dp/B00DJPPCLK

And the case is 38.5 x 21 x 37.4 cm

There's an addon that will remove the start screen and make it function just as well as Windows 7.

Also, you can set it up to boot directly to the desktop UI
