TL;dr - Should I pester OcUK about switching from AIO to air cooler, and whether or not they're listed the wrong PSU?
The long version:-
I've finally placed an order with OcUK for a new system. I haven't owned a decent PC for close on 2 decades, it's a significant investment for me, and I'm really excited about it.
First I ordered a build based on the z170 Midi Tower configuration, but then I changed that to the Neuron because it seemed to offer a better GPU (the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming instead of the KFA2 Reference Blower I'd specified originally. It also has matching GPU and MB manufacturer (both Gigabyte, instead of Asus MB and KFA2 GPU) and better brand memory (Corsair rather than the Team Dark stuff I'd selected).
It also came with the OcUK AIO cooler which I thought would be better than the Sapphire Vapoour X I'd specied (purely on the basis of cost).
I'm now thinking the Sapphire might be a better newbie option since I don't intend to overclock much, if at all, and so I think my system will be quieter in generally with an air-cooler.
Also, the Neuron includes a 700W Gold-rated Gigabyte PSU, which I felt was an acceptable replacement for the 650W platinum rated Super Flower PSU I'd spec'ed originally.
Subsequently, I can't find such a model and am a bit concerned it's actually a miss-described bronze rated model in fact.
When I changed to the Neuron, I was told they couldn't stray from the configurator at all, and as I've already messed them around with this order, I was hoping for some views here first before deciding whether to bother them again.
So, thanks a lot for any help you can offer this clueless layman!
