For now I would keep my psu, 7950 and this ram

Sorry not sure how to make the links read like product descriptions like some do in replies starting Your Basket.

Is the ram a bottleneck and would I be better looking at a watercooling kit rather than an all in one.

The plan would be to upgrade the graphics to r9 290 when funds allow.

Thanks for looking.

I have got no complaints on what you have specced their

If your using Chrome look for the Ocuk Cart add-on.

I agree with RJC,

Some lovely components there.

What's the make/model of the psu?
Do you already have the ram you linked to or will you be buying it? If you don't already have the ram I'd suggest faster ram as haswell is said to like fast ram, something like

While more expensive is colour coordinated with your chosen mobo as well as being faster than the Kingston.

The case is personal choice, saying that I don't like the look of it

Thanks for the input all.
Cant remember what make the PSU is but its a reasonable 750w.
Already got the ram but like the look of the stuff fowler002 suggests so may sell mine.
Any thoughts on whether the watercooler is ok or if I should look at building my own ?

Each to their own mate

Have to agree with you the Avexir stuff does look nice, just wish there was an option to get the solid lit up stuff rather than the disco lights. But each to their own.

Hmmmm, hadn't realised it strobed, that's put me off a little.
So to use this type of memory with the motherboard I want to use at the speed its supposed to run at does that mean I need to o/c the cpu as well ?

nope, just change the xmp profile setting in the bios to the correct 2133mhz speed

Ok, thanks for that.

Went for it tonight whilst some items were on offer

Took the advice and got some ram too, not the green disco stuff tho.

Just need a few more posts now for free delivery when I've saved enough for the gpu and monitor.
