Hey title says it all.
What do people Think of the below ?
I can get it for about the same price made by overclockers and get a free chair or buy the parts myself.

So far been looking at.
My basket at Overclockers UK:

Total: £1,584.98
(includes shipping: £14.10)

You can get this better GPU model for the same price:

My basket at Overclockers UK:

Total: £429.89
(includes shipping: £9.90)



​

Discount code for GPU:
GBT1070

The price on the Samsung 500GB SSD is far from competitive. I'd switch to something else like Crucial MX300 or get the Samsung elsewhere.

You're paying £85 more than you need to, for a 2TB HDD. You want reliability, buy two normal Barracuda 2TB HDDs for £60 each (one for back-up), and still cheaper than that model.

You need a cooler for the 1700X which doesn't bring one. You could get the 1700 which does. If it's just for gaming the 1600/1600X is a fantastic chip already. And you could get a GTX 1080 instead. Or save money. What monitor will you be using?

If you like Asus motherboards, spend a little more for this one and you get better NIC and audio:

This PSU is better and cheaper:

My next question was going to be about monitors i havent bought one for a few years now.

I have an old Samsung syncmasters 22b350 and an aoc 27" at them moment but will want to upgrade them.

Thanks for this,
I Liked the look a lot and went with the majority of your suggestions :).

And ty vm for the discount code, typically ocuk were out of the mounting screws for the cooler so i'm waiting on those to come in!

They were very helpful when i phoned them about it though so can't complain!
 
Nice. Only asked because I was unsure if that particular H100 brought a Y-splitter for its two fans with it (even though most do), and was going to suggest you ask in case you needed one added on. But not an issue if they are building it.

Proving very difficult to get this h100 from them.
I was advised that the bracket for it was out of stock and it would be in before my delivery date(yesterday)

Now I've been told it won't be in until next Friday!

Was offered a unbranded version of the cooler without lightning but they would fit some fans, but typically it doesn't come with the fan controller either so I'm not really interested in it.

Hang on a second... are you still going with the Crystal 460X case? Because that has an RGB controller (for 6 fans). So you don't need a second one really.

You could get a cheaper but good quality (5 year warranty) Antec H1200 for example and add two Corsair RGB fans to replace the Antec stock fans.

Will only cost £10 more, maybe they'll let you have it for the same price due to the delay.


Um, do they have the AM4 bracket for this one though. I don't really know.
 
They offered either that one or a similar named one can't think what he said currently been a long day.

Will look into the case controller and give em a call.

I just don't like it as much

Sad I know haha

liked your build apart from the aio cooler but then you have a glass panel - case dismissed :D

I have been ripped to pieces by my friends for going with colourful things And a glass case.

What can I say, my misses it 16 weeks pregnant and I think my baby will enjoy the lights changing colour while they are sat on my lap whilst I play games .

Hopefully will be soothing

By the way, these Seasonic Focus PSUs have just arrived:

Not that the SuperFlower Leadex II aren't excellent already, but these have 10 year warranty instead of 7. 550W is fine, only went for the 650W because of the price/offer a couple weeks ago.

They have built it already but were waiting on the bracket for the cpu cooler before sending it out.
Thanks for the link though they have some good reviews.
