That's the plan! The one you've recommended.

I'll take a look and see what I can do! Due to the fact I can't buy the case on this site I will have to get that elsewhere, the rest of the items I'll just buy from who ever is cheapest, but obviously postage may cause some issues, I'll have to add it all up and make sense of it all!

Should I post my attempts at building in this thread or a separate one in the builds section?
I feel like it will definitely still count as needing advice!! Hahah

totally up to you mate. could also start a thread on the build section and link it here. mention that you might need pointers etc and everyone is sure to help on the build thread. if not you know they will hear .

worth calling OCUK and pointing them to the list and some rival prices and see what can be done

dont ask... you dont get

Very true, I'll give that a go!!

arm yourself with some prices of rivals and go in with a soft approach and mention mentioned you've started a thread on the Upgrade Advice section

Just a quick one, why did you mention this specific unit? Is it a good one or something?

orbitalwalsh · 23 Apr 2018 at 18:13

Seasonic make it I believe , and it's a solid unit, just 7 year warranty instead .
Nearest thing , so could use a bargain chip etc . Might work

NathanL · 23 Apr 2018 at 18:18

It seems to be £90+, where did you pluck the £73 from?

As before, don't ask you don't get haha

see what "deals on pricing " they can do over the phone

NathanL · 23 Apr 2018 at 19:22

I'm sending an email as I would most definitely come out worse off on the phone haha

orbitalwalsh · 23 Apr 2018 at 19:23

You could use the customer service section they have, for Pre sales... Create a thread in their and only you or staff can see it.. or do both and link the thread

NathanL · 23 Apr 2018 at 19:36

It's fine, I've just sent the web note. Hoping they can match what (competitor) have said they can. Either way I'll be ordering tomorrow (I've said that about 5 times now).
