Gaming spec check

The decision is up to you then mate. I can understand the aesthetic side of it. I pimped by case out with 6 Bitfenix spectre blue LED fans. not needed and i could have spent the money on a better cpu fan or even else where on my machine however i just wanted it all to glow blue! :D

if you want it too look the way you want and lets face it! when your spending this amount of money on something you want it to look and feel as good as it plays!

the below cpu stulid suggested above would most likely give a generous stable overclock of 4.5ghz

*correct me if im wrong?

however the akasa one you stated above will do the same and look the way you want.

Its hard when you see so many fantastic looking builds, I feel like a kid in a candy shop with £5.00 in my pocket. Can buy allot but not everything :D

But the crux of it is when the kids go to bed the computer is mine, and I join my buddies on line and have a good crack.

Got the case now just need to put a good gaming rig in it.

I do like that cooler Stulid mentioned, the green fan will match my case. See there I go again lol.

The knowledge on this forum is amazing, and the help I'm getting is so much appreciated.

Thanks all
 
So after all your advice I have settled on the following which is all in stock. :)

YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - Retail £184.99
1 x Gigabyte Z77X-D3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £112.99
1 x Corsair HX 650W ATX Modular SLI Compliant Power Supply (CMPSU-650HXUK) £89.99
1 x Thermalright HR-02 Macho CPU Cooler (Socket LGA775/LGA1156/LGA1155/LGA1366) £39.98
1 x GeIL Black Dragon 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (GD38GB1600C11DC) £23.99
Total : £463.94 (includes shipping : £10.00).



I have some money left in my budget (£100.00), so unless anybody thinks I could upgrade any of the above I think I will save it toward an SSD.

Ill maybe do some pimping in the future, maybe some lighting etc. But for now ill just worry about a descent gaming machine.
