ahh ok , I also have a HD 5770 and a samsung 500gb HDD as well as some generic DVD drive.

 

[wellaman5000]

and I also wouldn't need the cooler as I have a water cooled system

incase you don't have the free shipping set up http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/sh...&posted=1&utm_source=forums&utm_medium=banner

is the dvd drive sata?

the cpu and mb are on a 'this week only offer from last wednesday so end tomorrow afternoon when the new offers start.

the cmdouble off is the buy any cm case + either the 500w or 600w cm silent pro psu and get £20 off, not sure how much longer its going to last as no date was given just that it'll be for a good few weeks and this was end of november.

I tried the cmdouble code but seems the 690ii dominator lite windowed isn't part of the offer as putting in the cmdouble code says

Voucher cmdouble accepted, CA-166-CM will be reduced by £20.00 Inc VAT (requires one of CA-155-CM,CA-160-CM,CA-164-CM,CA-175-CM,CA-176-CM,CA-184-CM,CA-189-CM,CA-196-CM,CA-203-CM,CA-212-CM,CA-240-CM,CA-235-CM,CA-228-CM,CA-220-CM,CA-221-CM,CA-237-CM,CA-239-CM,CA-229-CM,CA-214-CM,CA-225-CM,CA-236-CM)
the 690ii dominator lite windowed is ca-245-cm which is not in the list.

as you said you have watercooling so changed ram to the corsair vengeance blue as it fits in with the blue colour scheme, mb has blue and the case has blue led fan.

if you can live without the window the non-windowed version of the case is in the case+psu offer
