Take a look at this image and let me know if this spec is going to work.

Constructive advice is welcomed.

Cheers

I have a thermaltake armour+ liquid cooling system so im sticking with the water cooling. I dont care what anyone says its awesome.

Jusy upgrading the internal parts and was wondering if the kingston memory will work just as good?

Will i7 have bigger boost over i5? 1155 socket i assume.

I heard many ppl saying the HDD is the biggest limiting factor in speed.

But SSD's are still pricey so i could skip and save cash on em.

How does raid 0 work then?

 

[JButlerUK]

Thanks guys, i think i will will go with the i5 2500k and the SSD.

The 3 x different RAID setup spounds comfusing.

Is it worth paying the extra for a sata III drive over a sata II?

Which of the SSD's are good ones? The intel are pricey but you get a 5 year warranty dont you....

Will keep an eye on the SSD's and check the deals. Deffo going for Crucial tho, Intel up there own arse IMO. Thanks for the advice btw guys.

not a bad little build, similar to mine(ish) but check out this monitor

TINY bit smaller than the one you got listed, but an absolute steal at that price

as far as ram goes, yeah most games will only use 4gigs, but hey, its so cheap theres no reason NOT to go for 8gigs, thats what im doing - this is the ram im getting -

same speed for less money and ive heard nothing but good things as far as reliability goes. Good luck with your build

Thanks for the heads up on the monitor, its a massive price save for laike half an inch in screen size, BUT the contrast ratio is 70k:1 vs 1million:1

Huge difference there will i notice?

P.s got 4gb ram atm so might as well upgrade to 8gb so i know i have uograded lol. My mind works in weird ways.
