Im gonna be building myself a PC and i was wondering if you could help me with compatibility of some things and let me know if something is good or crap :P

Now before i start i should say that this PC has no specific purpose and is going to be a general computer which i may play the odd game on occasionally, however mainly general use. But i want it to be good quality picture, sound and speed.

First off, im looking at a corsair H70 liquid cooler. Ive been offered it by hide for £60. Is it a good cooler or is it something i should avoid? Ive heard mixed reviews.

For a motherboard, im a bit stumped. I am thinking about this but i dont know what type of ram to get for it. Would this work? And if i don go for that one, what processer would you suggest??
Or this bundle? And what ram would work with it?

With regards to a graphics card, i was thinking of getting a radeon 6870 or if there is something else you would suggest, please do.

As for a sound card, i havent a clue :lol: so need help there

I would like to fit a blue ray drive, DVD/CD drive and a memory card reader as well. My case has 2 4.5in slots and 4 larger slots for optical drives etc

And last but not least, what size power supply would i need to run it all :lol:

Thanks very much in advance :)

Wow. Thanks for that.

I want the graphics card incase i start gaming properly. At the minute it will just be casual but that may change.

What sort of sound card should i be looking at??

Thanks :)
