any? comments or advice

ED209 · 26 Nov 2014 at 14:36

to be honest I find the build pretty good and if it was me I wouldn't change anything apart from the HDD. I would get this instead

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-376-WD&groupid=701&catid=14&subcat=1955

but this is down to personal choice really, had a few of the Seagate drives die

Get an SSD and a smaller storage drive.

Even for just the OS a 64gig ssd is peanuts

Was looking at the 256gb Crucial

DaleTheWhale · 26 Nov 2014 at 15:19

Crucial MX100 series would be a good idea.
HDD is OK.

PSU is massively overkill for 1 card, 550W would be more than enough.

H105 fits the case.

Fatter rad= better cooling

What I don't get...
-£79.99-

-£89.59 (includes shipping : £8.00)-

...Now correct me if I'm wrong, but 79.99 + 8 = 87.99 ? lol

Ok seems to be good.

But in the other thread I did mention how the H105 fits the case, fatter rad for more surface area =cooling.

And doesn't suck with Win8.1 or newer.
