Hi,
I'm going to be building a computer before I go away to University in the Autumn.
I have a £500 / £600 budget and I came up with this:

MD FX-8150 Eight Core Processor - 3.60GHz CPU £141.00 http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B005UBNLFK/ref=asc_df_B005UBNLFK8593594?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&tag=googlecouk06-21&linkCode=asn&creative=22206&creativeASIN=B005UBNLFK

HDD Seagate 1TB £62.37

DVD RW £15.99

Scythe Fan Controller £29.00
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Scythe-Kaze-Master-KM01-BK-controller/dp/B0014GBW0Q/ref=sr_1_3?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1341350674&sr=1-3

I think this is all compatible, however criticism is wanted for this build,
glancing over this build I'm having second thoughts about the case and the Heatsink.
Suggestions?


Thanks
