I do like the HAF 912 , i know a lot of people think its ugly but I like it , Red LEDS too lol match my Cyborg V5 keyboard :) the 912 should be big enough for the GPU too?

regards to the Mobo , is the "Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3P Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard" worth the extra £30?

Bottom line is:The Z68XP-UD3P looks great, offers consumers great performance and comes at an affordable price-point. One of the best mainstream motherboards using the Intel Z68 chipset we have tested.
 
The sound card you posted still uses the CPU for most of the processing, it doesn't have an actual X-Fi chip on the card. You need to buy the £80-100 ones for that.

However, I have one, and it does have a lot of nice little features to improve music quality, and it sounds a hell of a lot better than any onboard sound.

Thanks ever so much for your posts, they bring so much insight to the thread ;) and I must say what a wonderful attitude you have. Merry Christmas to you.


is it worth the extra £30 over the Z68XP-UD3 ?
And is this graph card the one to go for? MSI GeForce GTX 560Ti OC Twin FrozR II 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card

Yes to both, if you're considering going SLi in the future :D
 
thanks a lot , I think I have a list of everything I need now , one last thing would be a wireless internet N speed card. any suggestions to go with that Mobo? (the UD3P)
 
one last thing , Corsair Carbide 400R Midi Tower Case - Black
or HAF 912 PLUS?

is it just a case of chose what looks best or is one a clear winner?
 
My dad has a wireless adapter in his desktop. Ain't a PC that is used for gaming, but its perfectly fine. THIS is it, but its Out of stock.

I'd go for a 400R. I like its looks better, but then, the HAF may be better for the cooling. Preference I guess :)
 
ooo I see the Seagate HDD is OEM , will I need a disc to install this? and do I need to get any cables to connect it all together or does it all come with the case and PSU ?

a disk to install a hard disk? now I've heard everything ;)

hard disks(and optical drives) don't require any extra drivers and such to be installed, as for the cables as olivier already said they come with the motherboard and psu(sata cable with motherboard and power cable with the psu).
 
Ohh, jealous! :D

Remember:
