ok great, wanted to make sure i covered all the bases. Thanks.

no problem your welcome, let us know how you get on, what o/s you installing it with? win7 or 8?

Think im gonna dive in with win8 which i'll buy locally rather than online.

All looks good to me , the only thing i would change is the seagate drive to a western digital as the seagates seem to be getting a lot of bad press .

i was going to swap it for a WD cavier green 2tb, best option?

edit: although just checked and the 3tb has a 3 year warranty would this be a better option just for extra space and the warranty?

Because im going for a black internal theme (or as black as i can) i have stuck with the mpower.

Just ordered the first bit of the build. Hopefully have the rest ordered on payday at end of the week then the build can start!

These are the ordered parts so far..
