With a modular psu all the cables can be removed from the unit itself, therefore improving the airflow and cable management. So only the power cables that are needed will be plugged in.
What are you uses for the rig? if its just gaming, then 16gb is way overkill. Most new games suggest 4gb, but that's mainly to ensure windows runs cleanly in the background. I have 8gb and I consider that future proof.

Well, I generally never close programs just because I suffer from never-close-my-programs-itus and a severe case of lazyitus... Um, but I'm able to upgrade the PSU anyway, the extra cost isn't enough to make me need to reduce the RAM.
Do you know enough about cases to say whether this will all fit in?

After a quick google search I have done for you. (I'm nice like that lol) Found two sites, will be worth a read.

But If you look on the last page of the second link, the case is not good for large heatsinks. So i'd either drop to the tripple copper cooler, or upgrade to the coolit eco. The PSU will fit though.

I'm assuming the £59 one for the Coolit Eco?
Thanks for all your help, you're awesome
P.S. I did see that about the heat sink bit, but, being the unlearned fool that I am, didn't really know how this would affect me >_>' Hehe.
no worries.
The titan would fit in the case, however, as a result of its large nature the side 200mm side fan would have to be removed.
So if you went for the titan anyway, you could still add some 120mm fans to the side,(as you can fit 6 120mm fans on the side panel0 to cool your gpu)
I'd go for the coolit eco myself, the triple copper OR buy a different cpu cooler from another seller and send it to pcs, and ask them very very nicely if they will fit it for you.

That's cool, You will be getting the new version ECO II. The 99 quid version basically has a double radiator on it, whereas the 59quid version has one radiator. Your spec is very similar to mine. Just noticed you have opted for a hdmi cable, I'd cancel that, and stick with the dvi cable that is provided with the monitor. Will save ya a few quid. I believe dvi provides the same quality of picture as hdmi.
Some people say liquid cooling is just for overclocking, but mines not overclocked and it does me greatly. Feel free to have a look on my profile at my pics. will give you an idea what the inside will look like, kinda anyway.

Looks like a fine bit of kit :]
Oh really? I assumed there was at least some difference between DVI and HDMI :\ Oh well, I'll keep it anyway, I'm sure the monitor comes with a DVI cable already, so the HDMI could be a spare, if the scenario I need it comes about :]
I'd rather have my system nice and stable than maybe risk over-heating it. Plus my room can become unbearably warm at times. Heat rises and I'm in the attic,plus everyone has the heating up XD Lol.
Thanks again for all your help :]
