hey everyone,
been looking at building a system, im about to order it. just asking for one last compatibility check please

thanks guys, indeed i have missed the GPU, thats because i have a good one already so am spending the money on an SSD instead.

It all looks compatible.

Get the Samsung F3 instead of the F1. I'm sure it's quicker.

No graphics card?

You both mentioned the F3 inbstead of the F1. Benifits?

500GB platters, the F1 has 250GB (this is from memory, I could be wrong)

year i saw the F3 had 2 disks, the F1 has 3 i believe, this makes read/write speeds faster?

Increased performance, I have both drives and did a test a while ago, don't have the exact figures though.

PSU slight overkill!

yeah i know, but i will be looking at upgrading the GPU in the future. the systems at the top end of my budget already so its a sacrafice i need to make

Nice case too, different from the usual CM690MKII that gets specced all the time.

any real benefits of the CM690MKII?

what case would you suggest? i chose it because it has front USB3.0 as supported by my motherboard.

any idea if there is a bay to hold the 2.5" SSD drive?

The F3 is quite a bit quicker than the F1 so well worth the extra few pouunds compared to what you're spending in total:

Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB Review

but will the different be noticeable?
