9.5/10
- That ssd is not really worth the money for the extra performance gains
-That's about it

With a different motherboard 9.5 out 10.

harrisoncove · Nov 10, 2014

Any other good mobo's for around the same price?

HertzKnight · Nov 10, 2014

9/10. I would go with a different SSD personally.

Dark Lord of Tech · Nov 10, 2014

It's personal preference really , I build with ASUS , and Gigabyte.

It's a very solid build.

HertzKnight · Nov 10, 2014

Actually MSI makes pretty good solid boards from what I been reading lately. I believe the MSI Z97 gaming ones are on par with Gigabyte. I am still using my Z77 Gigabyte UD5H, so I can't personally say anything on that front. I prefer gigabyte as well though.

I would go with the Asus Z97-A for a few pounds more.
9/10 for the build, BTW. Change the motherboard, SSD (MX100 256 GB) and case (too low-end for a 1200 pound build) to get 10/10.

HertzKnight :

The Z97 motherboards by MSI are pretty decent but I prefer ASUS overall because of their customer support haha.

OP, I personally love your build.
