<£1200 Build Spec / changes - final

Vantage101 · 25 Oct 2012 at 18:37

Thanks,

Will add that £275 to basket.

Also i'm thinking of getting a smaller SSD - 120gb one due to the cost.

Would this one be a good choice? - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-026-KS&groupid=701&catid=2104&subcat=1427

The Samsung 830 is better @£87 for the 128GB

I did include the bigger 256Gb version in the spec above, is the total price too much?

Vantage101 · 25 Oct 2012 at 18:48

Nevermind, was thinking of cost and use, but i've just totalled up and for loading applications off - BF3 / GW2 / Win7/ D3 / Adobe - it all adds up.

thanks again for your expert advice.

Ordered, will hopefully come Monday.

Woohoo

stulid · 25 Oct 2012 at 19:35

So what items did you go for in the end?

Vantage101 · 25 Oct 2012 at 20:04

All of the above apart from the 670. Got the gainward 670.

Beast.

Thanks for your help. Going to be a long day when I get it!!

I'm such a muppet. I was lying in bed and it dawned on me... I never measured the size of the case and whether it would fit in the pc compartment of my desk... Guess what... It doesn't... Aaah !!!

I've purchased via finance, would there still be time to reconsider the case!!!!?? Or should I just stuck the case on top of the desk...

The case is such an amazing price (it was £100± not that long ago) I think you should modify your room to make it fit.

Ordered a hatchet. Time to start chopping.

Put it on top of your desk

show it off!

Or if you have already cut apart your desk, pics please :rolleyes:

Haha, it's a flat pack desk which I hope removing one or two panels doesn't reduce the overall stability.

Before my parts arrive (thanks Stulid for spec) would anyone be able to point me in the direction of a list of essential installations for when I first boot up?

Eg drivers, flash, java etc

Thanks, I've seen these dotted around the forum but not watched them yet. Will have to come delivery day!!

Vantage101 · 3 Nov 2012 at 11:48

Deleted as issue with price difference was resolved.

Remote_zero · 3 Nov 2012 at 12:24

Post in the customer service section of the board and see if 5ub can work his magic.

Vantage101 · 3 Nov 2012 at 12:27

Sorted. Was a mix up with order dates. Contacted them via phone and issue was resolved. Difference being refunded.

fiveub · 3 Nov 2012 at 13:19

You spoke to me on the phone. It was a mix up with the date on the order.

Vantage101 · 3 Nov 2012 at 14:20

Thanks again 5UB!

I was meant to ask when will it be delivered! I'm guessing (hoping) Monday?
