If you wanted to save a little bit, £20, then get the dominator Lite case.

Its identical to the advanced in everyway, except it doesn't have the external sata connector, or the ssd mount. Thats it.
 
if you dont want to get a B grade case (i believe this means there was a problem with it or some cosmetic damage) then you can get a brand new one for only £6 more.

also, you have written the price of the 650W XFX, but the name of the 750W. either will be fine for what you have, but the 650W would be pushing it a bit fine for my liking if you bought another graphics card in crossfire

build is looking great though :)
 
Instead of going for the MSI Frozr 6950 2GB. i would have gone for the MSI ATI Radeon HD 6950 2GB. Not sure if that one is the right revision to flash to a 6970. The one i recommend will.
 
Yeah I clicked on the B-grade caseby accident.
the 750W PSU is listed at £72.98. although its sold out now.

To be honest I doubt I'll unlock the GPU. Not building it for me.
 
6950 is still good so it doesn't need unlocking.

Get the 650W version, it still more than enough as long as you don't go CrossFire.

Click to expand...

And less fans as stock.

Oh, and those fans are also 120mm as opposed to 140mm.

It's also narrower.

It also doesn't have the VGA bracket that stops cards from flexing and includes an 80mm fan.

:p
 
I've got one of each infront of me. dimentions are the same!

You might be right about the fans, can't remember what I got because they have been swapped out.

My Advanced didn't come with a vga bracket either... hmmm
