That Superflower PSU is basically exactly the same as the NZXT Hale but more expensive fella. Stulid made a mistake telling you the NZXT Hale was fully modular. In the Prodigy mATX you really DO want a modular PSU, have a look at THIS as it walks you through the inside of the case. You'll see...

I'll take a bash at styling a little something up, if that's all white with you? ;) YOUR BASKET 1 x VTX3D Radeon R9 280 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £189.95 1 x Intel Core i5-4670K 3.40GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - OEM £161.99 1 x Gigabyte Z87M-D3H Intel Z87 (Socket 1150)...

I used the Prodigy as it's popular for LANs, it basically has built in carry handles lol They do a mini-itx variant but it's the same size, it's just the internal layout that differs to allow different sized mobos. I thought the NZXT Hale 550W was a non modular PSU No hotlinking of images. I...

Welcome, I too enjoy seeing the different ways we can balance things out :) You can use THIS to get an idea of what the GPUs can do. A 280 is basically a 7950, the 280X is the rebadged 7970Ghz essentially. If you want to overclock then you really do need to add an aftermarket cooler, unless...

The entry level Z series mobos don't run the PCI-E lanes in sync, so whilst it says it does Xfire it's not really worth it. YOUR BASKET 1 x VTX3D Radeon R9 280 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £189.95 1 x Intel Core i5-4670K 3.40GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail...

No idea dude, I'm good but I'm not psychic lol I know you'll see him right, I'll vouch for you. Let me know how it goes guys :)

I thought you might ;) OP needs to message you via trust then to sort this build out properly :)

Would have done when I lived in Lincoln but I'm way down south now dude. Think my buddy Idleman is up your way iirc but I can't say if he will help obviously lol

They are a bit rubbish then aren't they? Building isn't difficult, there are loads of video tuts on youtube and you'll get plenty of help on this forum if needed. YOUR BASKET 1 x Intel Core i5-4670K 3.40GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail £169.99 1 x MSI Radeon R9 270 Gaming...

Yip it's Sata. You can use it but a fresh install of the OS would be wise, Vista is naff so I would just use the windows 8.1 trial. The retail CPUs come with a stock heatsink and 3 year warranty. The OEM can be cheaper but they do lack the heatsink and only have a 1 year warranty, the idea is...

You want dual channel RAM dude, so 2x4GB for 8GB. Haswell is happy with faster RAM but 1600Mhz will work. Look at reviews for the 270 GPU. The MSI gaming is a good example, overclock it to match the 270X could save you a few quid to up the PSU perhaps. The HDD is an eco drive hence being...

It's true that if you want to resize you will need to make quite a few changes which need to be thought through. In a smaller case you really want to lean towards a semi-modular PSU as space becomes an issue (I've built inside the CM Elite 120, it is compact in there and airflow isn't great)...

Is the ODD and HDD in your current system Sata or IDE? IDE has been dropped from modern mobos. If you have sata that's a bonus :) Bitfenix do mATX case variants. Same size as the mini-itx it's just the internal layout that differs to take the larger mobos.... YOUR BASKET 1 x Intel Core...

No worries fella. You are relatively new here so I have to point out forum rules state no linking to competitors. I'd edit out the company name doing the build just to keep the mods happy. Socket 2011 gives you the choice of having the Hexcore CPU and it supports using Quad Channel RAM. From...

X99 will be the new mobos for Haswell-E(xtreme) CPUs and will support DDR4 RAM. They will do away with the Quad cores and offer Six and Eight core CPUs only. We won't see them till the end of the year and it will be expensive kit.....not that X79 is cheap lol When overclocking to get the higher...

I think most people would agree when you have a window, colour matching the internals would be nice. To be fair cutting in a window yourself is very easy and cheap to do, there will be tuts on youtube to show you how. Not sure who is evaluating these specs with you but the Bequiet PSU is good...

Stulid has already thrown up benchmarks for the GPUs and the CPU scaling in BF4. The i5 4670K at stock clocks was what 72 minimum and averaging 95 FPS in the BF4 link? In my eyes it's a great gaming CPU. The 290 GPU is more than enough for 1080P gaming, a lot of the benchmarks are focused at...

It was me that asked fella not Stulid. Thanks for answering though. To be honest I want to hit you with a reality check. A 290 or dual 280Xs for a 1080P 60Hz Monitor is just overkill to be honest and wasted cash. Same with the i7 to be fair, yes potentially you can get more FPS in some games...
