You're welcome. 8GB is enough for gaming. If you do any video encoding there is THIS 16GB RAM kit for £10 more......bit of a bargain really.

Yes the mouse is better. The HDD is twice the size with more cache as well. The mobo is voltage locked so not ideal for overclocking but considering the i5K is on offer it helps you get a nice base system :)
 
yeah i will sure be getting that extra memory 16gig for that price wow, years back would have been 100's for some like that lol, thanks again :)

oops that PSU isnt in stock :(

It's on preorder fella. THe price will go up once in stock. You can order it now and they will dispatch the order once everything is in stock.

I used it because 500W is a nice round figure for a PSU and it is modular. If you want something in stock to get it all by crimbo......I would look to use THIS which is a rebranded seasonic PSU (ie very good). It's £10 more maybe use the 8GB of RAM and use that extra £10 for the PSU instead if you want to keep the price down?
