Hey all,
Ok, I am nearing the final stages of settling on my build, please post any advice or anything I should change. I posted my problem on another forum, and someone posted a better build than the one I originally planned on.

http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/s [...] t=17999010

Should I go with the build on the first reply?

Thanks,
Shadowlift :hap:

yes but buy from scan, switch the ram to 3x2gb of 1333mhz corsair and switch the cooler to an akasa nero.

 

oh and get a hiper 780w modular PSU so you can CF later.

Ermmm... I should have explained this earlier, but this is my first build, and I don't understand much of what you said there :)

I also live in the UK so I can't buy from places like newegg and stuff.
Please provide links to a UK site if you can?

yeah, scan.co.uk, it's a UK website which will take about £30 off what your buying.

 

3x2gb of ram is the memory used and is made by corsair and runs at 1333mhz and costs £62 inc vat.

 

the akasa nero is a heatsink and fan set for £28 inc VAT which has a low noise footprint but low temperature.

 

and also the hiper 780w thing is a modular PSU, which means you can choose what power outputs you want it to have and it has a high enough amperage for you to use two 4890 graphics cards in your pc.
