Anyone got any advice on changes for this? Havent included the GPU as i'm waiting for them to be released but this is so far my build.

Potentially gonna VR someday but for now i'll be rocking a 160hz Asus Rog Swift and thats it for this computer.

(I have storage here so dont worry, just need an extra Boot Drive)
 
A single SATA SSD won't take up much room. I would go with the 250GB 750 EVO as it isn't that much more.

The max psu length is listed as 150mm. The SuperFlower Leadex is 200mm so it won't fit. The EVGA GS 650W is 150mm in length.

You can get a cheaper set of Ram. I doubt you would notice any difference between 2400MHz and 3000MHz outside of benchmarking.

Are you really going to pay £90 for Windows 10?

It's cheaper to buy Win 7 key and then do free upgrade.

I would look at other cases as well wasn't a fan of that sugo when I built a system in it.

The post above I agree with go for larger ssd and switch psu/ram and what about switching the corsair h60 to antec h600?

I have a fair few horror storys with Kingston RAM so i tend to avoid them nowadays.

Thanks for noticing the problem with the PSU! I'll get that rectified with the order.

Thing is i only had that ssd as a placeholder because i have tons of storage at home that i can easily add myself (2 500gb ssds and 2 1tb WDBlack drives) obviously not all going to go in but y'know.

I dont think the free upgrade is going to be around when Pascal comes out.

I have never personally had an issue with Kingston Ram. You can still save £10 if you go with the 2400MHz Corsair Vengeance, or there is also a Teamgroup kit with Red Leds for £59.99.

If you already have 2 x 500GB SSD's then I would put windows on one of them and forget about the 120GB.

Those ssds have games preinstalled, they will be coming out of my gaming laptop and going into the desktop, the gaming laptop already has a bootdrive m.2 ssd and im going to put the WDB 2.5 drive back into the laptop!

i will probably change tot he cheaper RAM as i have never noticed much from 1333hz (or whatever my old desktop was)
