Build a bundle - moderate experience

[bigbilly50]

Hi ,
its been years since Ive built a PC so trying to keep it easy for myself.

Already have a 780ti + SSD (maybe SLI in future) - thinking of adding these to the following :-

ReAct MSI Z97 SLI - Intel Core i5 4670K @ 4.3GHz Configurable Pro Gaming Bundle (with I7 / 16GB and H100i cooler)

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-005-OG

Corsair Obsidian 750D Full Tower Case - Black (CC-9011035-WW)
(Seems to be the popular case of choice)

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-157-CS


Seasonic M12II EVO Edition 850W '80 Plus Bronze' Fully Modular Power Supply
(Seems as good as any?!)

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-043-SS

Total price = £823


Im thinking this shouldnt be too difficult to put together. Wanted to check on here that Im not missing anything obvious (or stupid !!)

Thanks for info - this is a 100% gaming build.

Is 16gb really pointless for gaming ? (I will be dropping to 8gb if so)

Any other case suggestions - air flow is a concern as my 'man-cave' is more like a 'man-cupboard'

Some alternative cases:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Corsair Graphite 760T Windowed Full Tower Gaming Case - Black (CC-9011044-WW) £144.95
1 x Corsair Carbide 540 High Airflow ATX Cube Case - Black (CC-9011030-WW) £98.95
1 x Corsair Obsidian 450D High Airflow Mid-Tower Case (CC-9011049-WW) £91.99
1 x BitFenix Ronin Tower Case - Black £69.95
Total : £436.38 (includes shipping : £25.45).



You won't see any benefit from 16gb RAM.

Thanks, that Corsair Cube case looks ideal !

Bits arrived on Friday - took me the day to put it together (the H100i was pretty daunting !)

However, all went smooth and the system is absolutely stonking !! Crysis 3 and even Watch Dogs running silky smooth.

Really happy with the choice of case - its an absolute monster but looks really tidy inside and is staying amazingly cool.

Sounded like a hovercraft when I switched it on - Ive set up a custom fan profile and can't believe the low noise level with 6 fans on the go !

Bottom line - Im a very happy bunny
