Build check please

Hey guys,

can you check the build below and let me know what changes you would make (tried to keep to a red / black theme but if it means we can get more bang for buck feel free to break it)

Main use will be gaming

no overclock will be done (but k version is on sale so why not get it

)

No OS and no monitor needed

Thanks

ram might not fit with that cooler, and change the psu!

Are you dead set on that case, I know it goes with your colour scheme but it is not worth the money IMO. Considering not much more will get you a bit fenix Ronin.

Same price as the ram you speced but low profile, if you're ok with orange the orange version is £15 cheaper.

You don't need thermal paste as the cooler should come with pre-applied paste(or with a single use or maybe a couple/few uses amount in the box).

Sorry for late reply's guys. Been one of those weeks...

@DOOM, I did try and convince him to look at other cases (I did mention bitfenix to him as I have one and now you have mentioned it also he is considering it but case more about how it looked than functionality...) His choice but I am totally with you on the Ronin instead.

@Fowler, thanks that is the ram I have replaced within the build.

Thanks for replies guys
