    Default New Build

    Making a build for a friend that wants it to be able to do anything he can throw at it - Gaming, and home usage - and able to last a while.

    https://www.aria.co.uk/WishList/hD36gyvaN7lTgKXtmpKjqQ,,

    Rate and slate, or spec anything else that would come to under £1100. Needs everything that i've specced, although i don't know whether i'd need a sound card, or whether the mobo has an onboard 5.1 sound?

    Cheers

    Theres actually 2 1TB hard drives in this wish list, it doesn't show.
    - i7 2600k @ 4.5ghz - Nvidia 580 x2 SLI - GA-Z68X-UD7 - OCZ Vertex 3 120GB - 2x1TB Samsung F3 - 8GB 1600MHZ Mushkin Redline - OCZ Fatality 750w PSU - Razer Imperator - Razer Megalodon - Logitech G19 - Thermaltake Frio - Coolermaster 430 -

    Looks good to me mate, although i'd go for a F3 over the Hitachi drive.

    i'd get the MSI 560, clocked higher and cheaper. How about the CM430 case?

    if you do get the above case you'll need 3 fans for it, it comes with one front fan, but can fit 1 at the rear and 2 at the top, side and bottom lol.

    Yea sorry Spaceboy slip of the finger - 1 dvd drive >.<

    Thanks Zaim, shall make those suggested changes, Probably get 3 fans, 1 for back, 1 top, and 1 side. As long as its quiet! I have one of those fans myself, they're great! MSI it is then! Will update wish list.

    Added after 3 minutes:

    Done - sorted!
