Hi,

About to click buy on the following. Could someone please check and let me know what they think. Happy to add or remove ± £300 if necessary.


My basket at Overclockers UK:

Total: £2,231.67
(includes shipping: £28.02)

Thanks very much.
 
If you are using it just for gaming i would highly recommend a different monitor. That is a 60hz screen with a 5-8ms response time. And the 980TI is going to push more than 60fps at that res in a lot of games.

Cooler too tall for the case.

Case has 145mm available, that cooler is 159mm

Other than that, looks good to me

Ah ha, good spot. Any cooler than you'd recommend that isn't silly expensive which would fit ?

Well for pure gaming pleasure in that price range i would say

IF you can afford a little bit more

Just for your reference

Response time is the time between you performing the physical action with the mouse/keyboard and the action being displayed on screen. You want this to be as low as possible ( especially for any fps/racing when competitive )

Refresh rate is the amount of times the screen refreshes every second. 60hz the screen turns on and of 60 times a second. The higher this is the smoother you will perceive the image.

G-sync is a new type of screen refreshing ( basically make it run without screen tearing or stuttering )

The only problem with the two monitors i linked is the lack of 3440x1440 but if you can over come that i doubt you will regret the buy.
 
If ya play FPS games i would suggest a gsync monitor so ya dont get input lag from vsync, or tearing from lack of either.
 
I'd personally have much more than a 212 (or similar price range) cooling a 5820k especially at that budget.

The big Phanteks, Noctua, or Corsair H100/H105/H110 etc.
 
As said above, go with a bigger and better air cooler or a high end AIO

When it comes to monitors it's all down to personal preference really. Personally I can't notice the benefit of 144Hz over 60Hz but 1440p looks amazing.

What about a carbide 240? They are never wide, offer great cable management and I think look amazing.

yeah, that monitors ok if you win the QC lottery. If you get the "meh, it's lunch time, pass" ones then it's a lesson in poor aftersales service.

Definitely grab decent AIO cooling. The top mount in a 350D can take up to 280MM radiator so have a butchers at which you'd prefer in that sort of size.
