Get a retail Blu-ray drive (i.e. non-OEM) so that you get licensed software that you can use to watch Blu-ray movies etc.

Looks pretty sweet apart from that!

Can u explain more dont know what that means lol. thanks

In order to view / play Blu ray movies you will require software to view these, At the moment there is no free alternative, so you would need to buy your own or get a drive with it bundled, done a link to the Samsung drive in my post above.

thought about http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-042-OP&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=1395 ?

costs a bit more(~£15) than the case/psu/cooler you've chosen, different case and non-modular/non-gold psu but the cooler I believe is better(could be wrong).

oh and have you thought about http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-274-SP&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1752

Will i need to order thermal paste, or does the venom come with it

TheRedScot · 12 Sep 2011 at 12:19

got it ordered overclockers cant do individual builds, so looks like im going to have to give it a go my self, the only thing thats worrying me is what wires go where on the mobo, if u guys could recomend any good videos that would be great thanks

your motherboard manual should tell you where everything goes

TheRedScot · 12 Sep 2011 at 20:15

RJC · 12 Sep 2011 at 20:24

Edit: and no fancy box.
