Looks good apart from...

GET RID OF THE HIPER!!!

They have a really really bad rep, something from Corsair, Antec, Seasonic and Tagan will be so much better.

Hiper's that bad ?! Hmm maybe I can ammend my order if thats the case, dont want it failing on me, I thought it sounded reasonable enough tho ?

About 30 people+ on these forums have reported them blowing up, try searching

Hiper have non-existent quality control

Just searched yeah, it seems their not great huh :rolleyes:

I hope OC's can ammend my order for me tomorrow :confused:

A Corsair 520w is a very good substitute choice on the PSU front. If you want to save a bit of cash you could consider going for the Geil PC6400 C4 that has the same specifications as the Crucial Ballistix but that is probably less of an issue than the PSU at the moment, some Hipers are fine however so it isn't the end of the world if you can't change it.

Well I'll try and change the order tomorrow when OC opens, I'm glad you guys told me of the problems to be honest

I 'could' just try it but tbh, I'm not sure I want to risk damaging my new components.

Thanks again

No I managed to get about the 2nd from last kit ordered which was quite lucky

hey dude, it's not a bad psu man, i have the same case and the same psu, and more powerful cpu, and it works like a charm! had it since january, works perfectly, no noise problems etc.
and the reviews on the order site aren't actually that bad:

so don't really worry.

Everythings good apart from the Hiper, get a Tagan or Seasonic.

RMA'd my Type R 580w last week, couldn't believe they wanted every cable plus the toolbox to be returned !! (Good job i kept it).

It 'could' blow up and take an expensive component with it

I'm sure OcUK will amend the order. Get a better PSU, if the hiper blows you'll regret getting it

It won't definately blow, but there's more chance of it going than there is a Corsair.
