last questions since im gonna end up selling my tuniq tower as cant use it on the new socjet i could put in a little extra if needed towards a cpu cooler . would an extra £10-£15 get a better cooler?

why did nobody recommend him an ivy bridge board? z77 board, cheapest one ive seen is around the £90, Cannot see why this was left out to be honest.
oh well.
best of luck anyways, the one you got would be far superior to your current one anyway.

I think the Z77 boards were not on the website when the builds were posted.

my apologies, didnt see it was an old thread.
still, its not a bad build, i would have questioned his current psu, as it may have been underpowered, meaning he should have looked at another...
hope the OP enjoys the new build.
