The Steelseries keyboard is well rated. I was considering one, however I wanted illuminated. If you want an alternative, look for the QPad MX80, which would be my #1 choice at the moment. That one used to be available here not so long ago. Maybe waiting for stocks.

Phew, would hate to buy it all then find out it wouldn't work with eachother haha! Thanks for the PSU review, it seems to be given a solid score.

Ill update this thread when the components arrive and I have built it (Pics to follow)

for building up the rig, here's a good step by step series.

I think he missed the step where you have to set the SATA mode to AHCI before installing Windows on the SSD.

He even installs a CM 212+, which will give you an idea how to install the thing. He uses a 'spread' method, which may be better for pipes that contact directly onto the CPU. These are not very smooth and have little crevices that would make the 'blob' application method not as efficient.
