Finally have enough cash to buy - final thoughts before i make the purchase?

[Jackogeddes]

right since i've made a billion of these you know the script, Gaming/every day use PC. total war series/BF3/WoW on ultra silky silky smooth is the aim, with a good future prove machine i can have and enjoy for a good 3 years or so. don't fancie overclocking as it is my first gaming rig after all, and i really don't do near enough to warrent the i7 threading shizz so i'm satisfied with the I5.
my laptop just exploded like 20 minutes ago so i'm thinking **** it lets do something nice for myself and splurge like right now. :tt2:


still really stuck on a case, don't want to spend over £1300 now so thats my main question. i like the clear side panal jargen and hate mesh :wacko:
the new evil black edition £109 case looks pretty godly, any thoughts on that? does it come with the side orange fans? how is it in terms of cooling and all that techy stuff?

really? that sounds good

my dell laptops just packed in on me so i guess nows as good a time as ever. really looking forward to get back into WoW and such, should be alot of fun over summer!

i've not missed anything have i?


will i see much performance drop from the £1400 i had originaly posted a couple of days ago with like the Pro motherboard and power supply?

also i prefer the evil black just because it looks better, hows the interior? good management and cooling suitable?

I have no idea regarding the evil black, the pro is just more usb and more adequate for overclocking. Unless you are planning to add more HDD/SSD then the PSU should be fine as well as allowing you to add a 2nd GTX 670.
