Why spending so much on the case?

Why spending so much on the case?

call it an investment

but to OP, if you down the case to around £100, you could get a GTX570 instead of the HD6870, better cooler (SA if in stock), OCZ Z series 850w PSU.

 

[olivier renault]

Yeah, I'd stick with a 650D, or even cheaper. But whatever rocks your boat.

 

[Jony27]

this would get my vote
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-008-LN&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat=1447
or if you dont like the Red theme, theres also the Blue version

 

[olivier renault]

a quick shout to a computer build tutorial featuring a 650D, to give you an idea.

I wouldn't mind a Lancool myself.

 

[Hyburnate]

This has to last me and I want room for watercooling in the future

 

[Jony27]

watercooling you say?

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-233-CM&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat=29

just sell the PSU that comes with it to get some of the money back.

^^ +1, but do change the PSU if you plan on adding a second GTX580 in the future.
pity about no SSD

 

[olivier renault]

Yup, but if you want a gaming rig with 'future-proofing'...

 

[Jony27]

why did you change the wireless card?
could always downgrade to a gtx570 and get an SSD

I'm sure he'll be fine with that one. Gets more in budget. Not gonna affect gaming, but then again, gaming on wireless not ideal, although not a complete disaster either.

As for SSD vs 580, hmmm I'd quite like a 580 myself, and maybe get a SSD later for a £100 upgrade.

I fitted a Corsair H50 in my 650D. No problem

Actual custom watercooling or the closed loop rubbish?

Actual custom watercooling or the closed loop rubbish?

Actual. Not the Antec or the Corsair stuff.

 

[Hyburnate]

Quick question, because the motherboard has onboard graphics, do I need to boot it up first time with no Graphics card plugged in?

no

 

[olivier renault]

no need for that.
