That case has a 5.25" drive bay

 

[Ethermaster]

yep ..... is space that tight? I included an external drive so that when your not using it it can be put in the cupboard of other dusty things.

 

[deano-5]

Its more convenient as one unit. I was gonna use the Raven RVZ01 case but I didn't want to be limited on the PSU

 

[Ethermaster]

I will have to ask the question as to why install something in your rig that will never get used apart from the OS maybe and make a couple of back ups while adding even more cables then actually required?

Lots of disc based games

 

[Ethermaster]

That's why steam was invented

 

[deano-5]

The R9 280 may be overkill?

 

[Ethermaster]

For the extra few bob why not? and I had a re-think on the cooler as I don't think that epic pallas will fit.

How much overclock on that 4670k?

This http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-167-SA or this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-035-TS

 

[Ethermaster]

Can't say, totally depends on if you win the lottery or not tbh... I personally rather the Samsung 120GB SSD 840 EVO but both are cracking drives

 

[dacads]

Samsung for sure that's the best value SSD you can get

 

[deano-5]

Toshiba has better read and write speed with no buffer, samsung slightly slower but has a buffer.

Am I thinking too much?

The OCZ is by all accounts very similar to that Toshiba (basically the same controller and NAND) but the Samsung wins the race.
