CPU, MOBO and RAM combo!

The Z11 has "gills" at the side of the case and no digital temp display. There are fans sucking in air at these "gills" but no fan filters. So it's just scooping dust into the case. Granted the Z9 isnt dust proof but I prefer it to the Z11, I have a Z9 plus and I'm happy to recommend it. It's your choice at the end of the day

Ok, I like the look of the Z11 and the window is bigger, I will probably get the Z9, does it have LED off button?

The on/off button has a blue LED in it. 3 of the 4 fans are blue LED. When connected to the fan controller if you lower the fan speed it dims the LED obviously on the fans.
 
 
You can install the OS via USB pendrive if you have one big enough. Would save you getting the DVD drive now......you could look to add a bluray drive later if you wanted.

I can see why you are going with the pentium CPU, I would go with the G620. I wouldn't bother with the heatsink on the pentium CPU. Install the aftermarket heatsink when you get the i5K. Use the pentium CPU to update the BIOS and you can then add ivybridge CPUs (double check the supported CPUs on what BIOS in the mobos webpage)
 
The DVD Drive is £15, I could borrow my brothers, but I will be getting it anyway, I will get a hsf when I get the i5k,
I will update the bios, I am checking now :)
Also, I cant find the regular one, only B3?
How to flash a BIOS?
