I am looking to build a new computer with something similar to this:

I'm looking to see if anyone can help me with any improvements and hopefully help me to lower the price.

Thanks in advance

Merry Christmas!

Good components you have chosen there. Would this RAM be a better choice as it runs at 2133MHz and has good cas timings of 9-9-9-28. Also £2 cheaper

That mobo i've chosen says it supports 2133 ram (OC). Does that mean the ram you suggested will work or will it need overclocking? I'm still learning all this computer stuff so help is appreciated thanks

It will work just set the bios XMP profile to 2133mhz. but Apparently this RAM can get a little hot. If it does just set the speed back to stock. Job done.

Lets see what the others think.

Yeah the reviews say it gets hot. I suppose I could get a RAM cooler for around £20 but I'll have to see how much money santa gives me
