I don't mind being told if something isn't needed or right so which bits are overspecced? If for example you mean 32gb of ram I only have that because it was on sale at overclockers a while back for £29.99 for 16gb lol so I bought 32gb of it. and considering 16gb is now £129.99 on Overclockers I think I made the right choice :o)

If you mean the PSU then well ok I won't lie it is a bit over the top.... :)

That was it really, like i say nothing wrong but it just seems OTT, though i don't blame you.

I remember that RAM deal, that was AGES ago. Fair play. :)
 
Well you know a lot of the gamers out there like to spend cash like there is no tomorrow and change graphics card ever week when the latest comes out in truth I spend a fortune but build to keep for 3 years until the next fandangled stuff is out and then go mad again... :)
