It's been a long time coming, since I got a new PC so thought I'd treat myself to the below:

I will be hoping to salvage my 500gb Hard Drive, 60gb Vertex 2E SSD, Hiper Type M 580w PSU :o and ATi 4850...to place in the above...hmmm

Seems a good deal for £360 would you think? :D

Is the H60 plenty powerful enough to cool the i5 3570k?

The tubings diameter looks a bit small?

I wish to overclock and don't see sky high temps :p
 
Well that motherboard I think is voltage locked so you won't be getting over a 4.2 overclock. Should be fine with the H60 at 4.2.

Asrock has problems with the blackplate regarding fitting certain aftermarket coolers AFAIK ;)

If he wants an overclocking board this would be the best option IMO:

He has a H60, that fits no problem as-well as other closed watercooling setups.
The Asus and ASrock have identical OC'ing capability's according to reviews, the Asus is only better in a real world sense as it has Intergrated bluetooth and better compatibility for high end air coolers.
 
Roll on tomorrow.

Should be an interesting day.

4.2ghz if that's all I can get, so be it...

Order Status: COMPLETE

When do I receive the tracking number?

Cheers
 
Spec me a PSU then guys?

I was looking at OcUK Crusade or OcUK Batte Modular branded ones? :confused:

Will the Hiper Type M be alright for a week or two?!

XFX ones look the part...what about Corsair?

:)

Say I change my Hiper Type M 580w for a XFX 550w am I really going to benefit? OK it is probably safer that I do so, but for a power point of view? :confused:

Maybe a week will be ok, but they have the nik name "Hiper explosive"

What sort of budget for a PSU? you ideally would want a semi modular one also for easier cable management.
 
One of the XFX PSU's, they're seasonic, this would be my choice ; http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-014-XF&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1497

Or if you want cheaper and none modular ; http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-007-XF&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1497

Been waiting on ages for this XFX stuff to get back in stock, can't see them lasting long.

I'd take the 650W XFX over the Antec any day.

The Corsair CX stuff isn't the best stuff in the world, they're perfectly adequate, but it's not the Corsair PSU's you used to know, they're not seasonics.
