Final build for order

OllieM234 · 9 Jul 2009 at 23:21

So i've finally finished my computer build for order tomorrow and put it into a nice little picture for ease of viewing just to ask for any final advice if anyone has any different ideas. The gfx card/power supply i bought last month so can't change them btw.

Total comes to £750, so if anyone can build a better computer for that amount im welcome to ideas, i have a 22" flat LG monitor btw, and the extra fan i figured for some more cooling as i may try my hand at overclocking. OS will be Windows 7 retail candidate 64 bit which is currently downloading, thanks for advice on that.

(sorry for multi threads btw, you can delete my old one, i just figured this was more organised)

That to me looks like a good solid set up i have got the same graphics card excellent card i would maybe buy anther fan for the front of your antec 300 case.

Looks very nice, that setup should serve you very well.

If you don't already have one, a third-party CPU cooler is a good idea for overclocking. This one seems to be the best that is currently in stock on OCUK, otherwise the Prolimatech megahalems is the best performing.

Think i have to hold out on ordering anything else atm cos i dont really have the cash for it, will probably be a while before i decide to start overclocking anyway, never really done any of that before but ive read the i7 d0 seems to very good for it so i figured i might try it at some point.

and i figured the red fan would be for the front, anyone know if the other fans have a colour? Aesthetically i thought red and black at the front would look quite good but itd suck to have it turn out that there are blue fans on the sides

Missed other thread, but i hope you have a DVD-RW also.

The top and back fans included with the antec 300 case are black. However the two optional front fans are behind both the metal mesh of the case and the dust filter so you may not be able to see the color of the fans you put in there very clearly. I'm not 100% sure though as i have two green LED fans in mine which shine through nicely

EDIT: Also, which HDD are you going to use as i can't see one on the list
