Changed the GPU for a £90 cheaper one, as long as the PCB is black that's all you'll see really.
8GB of RAM is also OK, unless you really want 16GB, and have kept the white theme and added a sweet motherboard & RAM.
 
That inno3d card has cooler fitment issues.

I see people having to take bits off to make it fit and make proper contact with the core,

Fair enough, hadn't noticed anything about, should really visit the GPU section more! :)

Switched out for a Gigabyte card.
 
Theres £30 cashback on the Intel SSD,, so thats technically 480Gb for under£100.

They will look into it tomorrow why there's no buy button.
