I don't know if you have anything left to add budget wise but if you do i would upgrade the CPU cooler to the super quiet one and upgrade the HDD to a barracuda and after that a slightly better case.

 

[lewishollings]

Thanks I had a pretty tight budget when buying but I plan on making the final touches when it gets here, thanks for the advice, now I know what to upgrade

 

[Fear]

You won't desperately need to upgrade them it was just if you had any extra for your budget and if you are thinking of upgrading bits soon would also save you money on buying more new bits enjoy it when it comes

 

[tom_gr7]

Nice spec, I agree with fear on all points

Just to note though, its certainly easier to get a better case now than having to upgrade it in the future. That old spend money now to save money later argument.

 

[lewishollings]

I totally get what you guys are saying with getting a new case now, it would be a lot less hassle but I pushed my budget already :L and I took all points fear said into consideration, but the budget is that tight :L cheers for the brilliant feedback guys +rep

 

[Corfate]

Looks great what are you plans for it, gaming?

 

[lewishollings]

Yeh, i've always been a console player but always wanted a PC, sold my ps3 to get this, better be worth it

 

[Corfate]

It will be!

 

[lewishollings]

Mind if I add you on steam for when I get it?

 

[lewishollings]

9th day and still in pre-production I'm impatient but this has got to be the worst part about ordering something you've wanted for years... :L
