Would like your opinions on this,
Strict 1000 pound budget.
I have OS + Monitor + keyboard + mouse.
I think this is a pretty powerful machine for 980 quid.
I will be cooling on air for now but in future will get a h50 and try and overclock it.
Also comments on the case please? Anyone know if the intake has a dust filter?

I know the PSU is overkill for that as it is, but will hopefully go crossfire in future so that's the reason for a big PSU.

Thanks that would save me enough to get a decent mouse.
what do you know about that case? I'm not really into all the flashing lights so I know they can be turned off.

I've just heard good reviews about it.

I just want a Cool case that has dust filters on already so it's cool and not dusty.
 
if you like the case, but aint a big fan of flashy lights, then theres always wire cutters ;)

edit: i cant see it being a factor, but id actually double check that snipping wires to LEDs affects your warranty ... not that a lack of warranty on a case is a particularly big issue.

The case itself comes with 5 options for the LED's.

Red, Blue, Green, alternating, off.

It also has a built in fan speed controller.

I was just concerned you'd be paying loads more just for these little things that i'm not bothered about. But comparing to the competition it looks brilliant to me.

Thanks stulid.
I currently have a poor keyboard + mouse, it works, it functions but I want a decent keyboard + mouse, so any pennys you save me is good :).

Cheers, I have no need for 1TB so I think I would go for exactly what you've put down but with the HDD I initially put down.
Leaving me with 50 pound for mouse + keyboard.

Which a G11 + MX518 would do nicely :).
