Please help because I can still amend this build, thanks. I require the monitor as a good monitor is vital.
 
Spend £40 less on the case and spend £40 elsewhere. The HAF-X is overpriced in my honest opinion. For £70 you could easily get a case which is constructed better.

You could put the £40 towards an i7 perhaps. Or a larger SSD, etc.
 
Well said,

Get a cheaper case, you can great a lot of great cases around £70-£80..

Unless your doing a lot of video editing or virtualization you don't need 16gb of ram. 8gb is perfect for gaming..

You can save £10 by dropping the psu to the 750w version. Will still be enough..

Id personally get a gtx 770 though the 780 is good. :)
 
tbh i wouldn't spend that amount of money and only have a i5 either

alter vga to a cheaper and better option
alter m/b also and yes agree with others on case as well,

cases only hold bits, so a cheaper option wont do any harm as most do very good cooling now days
 
Congratulations !!

You're just been pimped :D

We can always rely on you Ether!!! Nice Job!

I will point out that the 600T is a big case and you get a small side window. I would recommend getting a case with a bigger side window or get the all perspex side panel which comes at a cost, but looks amazing.

That's Purdy, but you missed a keyboard..

and why did you go for a more expensive case? :(

I'd personally get a windowed 300R or wait for the Bitfenix Ronin, both £70. :)

And that PSU? Nice but OTT.. I'd get the XFX over that (750W version)

YES YES YES...

Sorry if it sounds like im sexually excited, its just because I am..

Cannot fault that. :)
 
Very nice. Oh, and the window on the 600T is not too small. It's bigger than it looks because the case is too :p

thanks a lot guys! but is that screen you choose better than the initial one i had?

It's a 27" 120Hz rather than a 24" 144Hz. Personally I would rather have the extra screen size as I recon' you would be hard pressed to detect a difference between 120 and 144Hz. And in most modern games if you max them out, you wont be getting a solid 120/144 fps anyway. (even with a 780)

But then again it is a hefty amount more expensive.

Agreed, even a GTX Titan will have problem's playing most of the latest games at 144 FPS completed maxed out (unless they were in some crazy badass SLI config and the game scaled well).

Agreed. :)
 
a 120Hz panel is certainly something I will get when funds allow. Perhaps to go alongside a shiny new GPU :)

I do notice that things aren't as smooth as they could be when gaming, when turning quickly etc.
 
Ok fair enough am sold then for the 27 inch. Uhm the psu tho will that be enough if in the future I wanted to sli the 770? Nd ohh I need to add a cd reader to that build lol
