looks ace

 

[KyleJones]

Thanks ruben you've been great help! +rep for you

 

[Wolvo7]

You could drop the CPU cooler a notch since you're not OCing but I wouldn't blame you for keeping it it looks great

 

[Jackogeddes]

looks really nice, what games will you be playing?

its basically the exact same machine i'm ordering except with the i5-3570k so atleast the option for OC'ing is there.
and with the pro 750w power supply.

but yeah, same case and everything, you going to get LED's and mod it out?

same here haha, always had a PS3 play cod, bf and fifa but if i'm spending £1400 on a badass pc (with basically identical spec to you except what i stated!) i'm probably going to get the new cod etc on PC. i'll mainly be playing Total war games, WoW and some footy manager etc

 

[Grinder]

yup cant fault this spec for a gaming pc

 

[Jackogeddes]

yup cant fault this spec for a gaming pc

will it really be worth the cash? £1300 is alot considering the complete non understanding my girlfriend has on the beauty that is gaming

i'm hoping i'll surely be able to run the likes of shogun, WoW and other demanding games on ultra silky smooth as well as do day to do internet browsing and applications lightning quick?

the 120gb ssd makes WoW loading insanely fast from what i can see from videos so i'm excited about that mainly!

 

[Grinder]

You could drop the titan cooler to a stock cooler if you dont want to overclock the cpu and downgrade the mobo to a none sli if you dont want to add another gtx670 later on when you have a few more pennies.
and it will still play wow like a dream as it is with a top notch cpu and gpu

 

[Jackogeddes]

i did wan't the upgrade option in both overclocking and adding on in the future so the pro has some nice reviews and is an all round beast from what i've heard

i've missed out a few features like the fan controller and sound card - is the fan controller really needed? i doubt i'd lower it as the set up i've built doesn't appear asif its going to be very noisey? and well i don't have good surround sound yet so no point in buying some expensive sound card eh.

also the case is another head rangeler for me - i really hate the mesh look that all of them seem to have, the only one i kinda like is the CM Storm enforcer (£65) as it doesn't have horrid mesh, isn't monsterously huge like the Haf-x and has a cool see through panal which i can install LED's into. so any advice on cases?
