Majority of my old PC was purchased from OCuK back in 2006 and has only recently started to struggle with games. But its all pretty redundant now apart from the PSU (Corsair TX650w) which is still in good nick but will probably eBay to fund a SeaSonic, and the CD-Drive (LG BluRay).

Thanks man, will have a look at this build now.
I sadly can't use the basket plugin due to other plugins I use being very conflicting.

No worries bud. Just looked like you were overspending a fair bit on components so I rebalanced things slightly.

There is a plugin on the chrome store HERE if that helps at all

korso · 27 Jul 2013 at 20:24

Is there an ETA on the refurb h100? looks like there is an issue with when they'll arrive.

You'd have to ask customer services fella, remember the EVO SSD is pre-order too.

Pre-order prices are usually cheaper, once it comes into stock the price is going to be higher I'd wager

The H100s have been on pre-order for donkeys. It might well be that the SSD will be in stock before the CLC. You could always do a seperate order for the H100 CLC use the stock cooler and upgrade it once the CLC arrives.

I've already got a hard drive and spare CPU cooler handy, but it isn't a solid state drive nor a high end cooler. But I've lived with it this long, so I guess I can use both of them and wait, just won't attempt any overclocking.
