Any issues with this ? Not confirmed on the mobo yet, a GPU is to be added. Is 16gb Ram too much ?

Shouldn't the shipping be free ?
 
I personally would get an SSD instead of a SSHD. EVO 500GB for example. I would get a better branded PSU like EVGA, superflower, seasonic etc.

The shipping should be free. Have you linked your forum account to your OCUK account (its in the account settings on OCUK I believe).
 
Shipping will be free assuming you've linked your forum account - see here

I'd echo the comment above about the SSHD, get a SSD instead and buy extra storage if needed.

Why not get a discounted CPU/mobo bundle for less?

Also while you're at it get a decent PSU too - HEC use cheap components in a lot of their range, just not worth the risk. A good quality 550w unit from Superflower will easily be enough for any single GPU system.
 
Hi there,

I put together a system here, think you'll like it. As mentioned above I think it is better to have an SSD as well as a HDD for extra storage of games, files etc. which is why I selected a 1TB HDD as well as the SSD. For an extra £19 you can upgrade this to 2TB which I think would be a good idea. Also I didn't like the PSU so I changed it for the Super Flower, they are much higher quality I also have one in my system. The case you chose was a good one, they are good cases as they come with 2 x 120mm fans as intake in the front and 1 x 120mm at the rear exhausting. Many cases come with one, or two or sometimes none meaning you would have to purchase these also. However, with this case you're all good!
