Looks good to me enjoy!

Only thing I noticed is your getting a mid tower case but your motherboard is Micro atx. Which "might" cause issues with installing your MB into your case but probably won't only thing I noticed.

 

[bigcyco1]

Your case says it supports micro motherboards so you are fine.

yeah just checked...well i'm looking forward and stuck a 600w psu with a view to run crossfire in a year or 2, but i am worried that as a m/ATX board will they fit??

 

[bigcyco1]

it might but i wouldn't count on it your better off getting this for crossfire mobo:GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD3H LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

hummm that adds another £42 to the build which i just can't do as i'm already £29 over...tbh it's not that critical i'm sure by the time i want to crossfire there will be other cards on the market that will give me as much bang for my buck

 

[barter]

or

or

[bigcyco1]

not sure never try those ones sorry i just don't want to say yes and then you end up buying it and it turns out to be junk know what i mean also that second one doesn't support crossfire or sli

Matx fits in all form factors, save one. No worries with it fitting in your case. I prefer professional versions of windows, rather than home editions. YMMV

That's not the concern anymore he wants to crossfire iin future

 

[egilbe]

the MSI board you originally picked out will fit two double slot GPU's in crossfire, but it will be tight between the two cards.

 

[barter]

well i ended up going for this one

http://uk.msi.com/product/mb/Z77A-G45.html

so should be ok, might have to get a few more fans to keep it cool

 

[egilbe]

That's a good board. If I buy MSI, I stick to the military class ones. They seem to last longer.

 

[barter]

thanks all
