SSHD are not worth it, you already have a good SSD selected.

Coolers (including the H105) come with paste.

Hairybear · 19 Jun 2016 at 22:22

Thanks for the advice and quick reply.
Should be all I need to get it ordered, guessing the cooler you suggested is the better value and I dont need a H105 or paste

stulid · 19 Jun 2016 at 22:24

The cooler is good and easy to fit.

Comes with a little tube of paste, maybe enough for 2-3 attempts at fitting.

stulid · 19 Jun 2016 at 23:20

You could also go for one of these cases and white cooler,

Too late for changes now.

I bit the bullet last night and its ordered :-)

Thx for the advice.

Hey Stulid,

My order is still processing, think its waiting on the card to be in stock

1 x KFA2 GeForce GTX 1070 EX OC 8192MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card= £374.99

Would this card, which is in stock now be a better replacement?
