Hi guys I am about to click the button to buy. just wondering if you would change anything ie the memory or the board and that the memory is compatible with everything?

YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i5-4670K 3.40GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail £185.99
1 x Gigabyte Z87-D3HP Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard £109.99
1 x Adata XPG Xtreme v1.0 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-17100C10 2133MHz Dual Channel Memory Kit (AX3U2133XC4G10-2X) £69.95
Total : £376.73 (includes shipping : £9.00).



Any other suggestions appreciated.
 
Your right looks pretty good! Happy days might go for the vulcan one then :D will there be a noticable increase over the 1600MHZ RAM?
 
Yeah I will eventually OC this :) Guessing I will need to get a watercooler when I go high? Whilst you guys are here. I am planning to do a clean install of Windows on my SSD (system I have now is AMD phenom ii BE550) and use my HDD to store programmes and games. Will I be able to run programmes from this when the SSD is the primary disk or will I have to make symbolic links etc? :)
 
You could go for a decent air cooler instead like the Thermaltake Silver Arrow or the NH-D14. The performance difference and prices are both fairly similar unless you go for a custom loop, the advantage with watercooling is that it is usually quieter.

Most programs allow you to select where you want your programs to be installed.

I have some steam games and one on uplay. The rest I installed on my HDD which is the primary at the moment (not using the SSD yet)

You can choose where to install steam games by making a new steam library in a folder on the HDD. I'm not sure about Uplay though, never used it. :confused:
