Looks great, but go for the Fenrir Titan. Will be great for your i7.

Also, get some homeplugs £38 if i remember Both will save you some money

 

[MadMan]

yeah it looks great Not much you could improve on and it should last you a very long time

Looks really good mate, but i'd ditch the network card, I dont think you will see much benefit, to be honest never heard a good thing about those cards.

I would get the 1050w corsair, its mod so all the extra cables will be removed for added cooling and cable management.

You could also drop the pro version of the mobo, but if you need/want the extra sata 6 ports it offers stick with it.

lastly unless you want the delivery before 10am, drop the extra care diamond, I think all the packages should be treated with respect and handled carefully regardless.

Dropped network card and pro, changed to 1050.

I would change the delivery just one slight problem... Does anyone know if you can have a different delivery address? Using a shared hallway for post and the entrance to flat is around the corner, in a street different to the actual address.

So preferably I would have it delivered at work as there's always someone there or alternatively when I'm home so delivery peeps can give a ring and I'll accept delivery.

If you ring PCS and let them know that would change the delivery address

Fenrir Titan doesn't appear to be available anymore:

- SUPER QUIET 22dBA COOLER
- SPIRE THERMAX ECLIPSE II

But I don't want to risk it blocking the side fan and to be totally honest :whistling: I've always wanted liquid cooling, not to brag or anything but loved it as a kid when I was considering getting a new computer, dreaming about getting a water cooled system lol. Just loved those Zalman cases etc...

Well not just as a kid, even now still... and a few years back the ultimate dream as a fully submerged system lol.

Must have changed since i last checked, my bad!

If you want Liquid cooling, go for it It's your PC afterall

 

[baron75mk2]

drop the i7 for an i5 , the i7 isnt much use for gaming - keep it if your video editing etc , but for gaming it will probaly hinder you more than help , also drop the "k" unless you plan to overclock later , again unless video editing etc , overclocking is of no use for games , gpu is more important & you have that covered well.

 

[tom_gr7]

I'd keep the liquid cooler, although you probably wont need the fat boy version. But if ya really want it go for it,

As long as it hasn't been bought on finance you should be able to choose where you want it delivered - remember though it'll be in a hefty sized box that may not be that easy to transport if you have a small car

If the entrance to your place is difficult to find or in an odd place, you can put that in the delivery instructions to help the delivery driver, I did that cos my front door is not on the same street as my address.
