hi, ive ordered components as and when i see a good deal/got paid. So far ive got:

- 2500k
- Noctua D14
- Antec 300
- Fans
- Dvd writer
- Sapphire 5850

So far ive spent £400 (some parts are second hand)

Ive got about £200 left of my budget

- I was thinking to wait for a z68 MSI motherboard - what do you think?
- want you advice on a psu
- advice on a quick hard drive to boot from (not an ssd, around 250gb)

thanks very much
 
Will the NH D14 fit the Antec 300? It's a BIG cooler.

As for the PSU, I would take a better one in the £60 region, like the XFX 650W Core, the TX650 and so on. Although the L7 is probably all right, you have the budget for something decent, and the XFX, Antecs and Corsairs are well known entities (all seasonic designs iirc).

From what I've read it isn't really worth the wait for the Z68 chipset unless you wish to use the caching feature. imo
