Yes.

But I think you can afford to go intel if you go for a cheaper case/PSU and cooler.

This would all go but you would need a graphics card as that does not have onboard graphics.

What are you going to be using it for? how much do you want to spend?

Damn, Stulid beat me to it.

I have an R7 260X, It's gonna be used for gaming, and general internet usage and streaming. I'd like to go SSD but I really CBA with re-installing windows, and all that rubbish :p (lazy)

I don't want to spend "too" much. But I need a new case and have had my eye on the phantom range since it was released. I have a PSU but the fan wobbles and makes a godawful noise when cold so wanted to get a decent? one.

What's the real advantage over Intel/AMD?

As for an SSD, you could just clone your drive onto the SSD, that's what I done.

Well...You'll all laugh at me... It's like 6 years old :D

AMD Phenom(tm) II X2 550 Processor

4GB of DDR2 :cool:

My GFX card is the newest thing as my previous died out... :mad:

To be honest, everygame I've played it's handled with ease but now I'm starting to notice stuttering and slowness so upgrade time. I could possibly up my budget to the £6-700 mark. Depeind on how long the system will last me (if it's another 5 years then that's np)
 
 
The s340 is an absolute stunner! Id definitely recommend adding atleast 1 if not two 140mm intake fans to improve cooling capabilities.

How about this? I ditched the PSU for now I'll just use the one I already have (OcUK Battle 750W Dual Rail High Efficiency Modular '80 Plus' Power Supply (powercool) )

Also what's the difference between OEM + Retail???

The retail CPU has a proper box, a stock cooler and 3yr warranty.

OEM is a plain box, no cooler and 1yr warranty.
