How about those for SSD/graphics/mobo? I don't think the extreme 7 is really worth the extra money but feel free to swap it in if you prefer.

How does that look? I don't know anything about WC so I would personally just get a good air CPU cooler as the HAF X is supposed to be a really good case for air cooling.
 
Hi

thanks for reply's...i wanted go to nvidia ive been reading reviews many many reviews in fact and heard ATI's 69xx are loud and slighty slower compared to 580/570 and im not sure if there a huge difference with 580 1.5gb and 570HD 2.5gb with extra 1gb of onboard memory?....i dont know what are plps views?

Concerning mother board i jus though Extreme7 is alil more future proof if thas possible these days :(...i really like the P67 Sabertooth but is it as good and as equiped and future proof and the high end z68 boards??

...please dont worry about non-ssd drive ive got enough to use in this machine when built...for optical drive i was gunna go Samsung SH-B123L/BSBP 12x BluRay ROM / 16x DVD±RW Lightscribe SATA-II Optical Drive, bargin 50 quid :)

As for cooling the h100 fits nicely in this case so im willing to try this semi-water cooled seal unit once...if not its back to Air for me..i know there some good AIR coolers out there now on air Noctua n14 (ugly monster) and the thermal-right or take i cant remember silver arrow..

Thanks for ur comments
 
I implore you to stay away from the Corsair SSD's.... My Force 3 isn't even plugged in at the moment... Saying that Firmware 1.3 did seem quite a bit more stable, but still not really 100% stable.... Get a Crucial M4.

I'd say there are much better cases out there, but it depends on your choice obviously for styling. Corsair 650D is so highly related, or perhaps the 600T? Both are cheaper than the HAF.... I do however understand that cases are very much personal preference, so this might just be the case for you :)

As both specs have suggested - ASRock Ext. 4 Gen 3 will do you fine :)

Think that's everything :)

OK..thanks for that..like i said ive got no idea about SSD's whats good and whats problems..and yeah ive kinda made up mind on case...im not a light freak and will run with red front fan lights off maybe 1 or 2 white cold tubes in case to light the sick hardware heh :)...but like u say cases are totally a personal taste thing...as long as its big enough to house ur hardware...

And ive been watching reviews and forum hunting for last 3 hoursn think ive made my mind up on mobo aswell... Extreme7 gen 3...yeah its 70 quid more but more features that i would actually use than Xtreme4 and i think looks a lot nicer...

thanks for info again
