In the next month or so I plan to be ordering and building this, Is there anything else I could potentially do to make it better.

My personal preference has always been Nvidia for graphics and Intel processors. I have 2 x 1TB drives from my current machine I will be using (1 for storage 1 for backups). I don't want to spend any more than £1100 Ideally and I do get free shipping for being all loyal!
 
id pay the extra for vertex4
and gold version that psu not much more

not seen that stealth cover before, looks nice^^
 
I'd Swap out that Noctua cooler for a Phanteks ph-tc14pe.

- Looks much nicer
- Beats the Noctua in most reviews/benchmarks

Other than that, looks pretty sweet :)
 
After having a MountainMods U2UFO watercooled for years I don't mind having 4 fans on 100% instead of the 9 x 120mm fans I have at 100% now! Basically what I am wanting is a mini powerhouse that will last me a few years. I've been running a QX6800, 4 gb ram, EVGA780i and a GTX280 for the last 5 years or so and it's about time I upgraded I think :) The main noise in this case is both the water pump ( D5 vario ) and the Enermax Galaxy 850w PSU.

Colour co-ordination doesn't overly worry me if I'm honest but I did change the ram over to the white stuff. I just want a machine that is far smaller that what I have now and runs cool and quiet and left on pretty much 24/7.
 
Changed the build to this now £100 over budget but oh well what's £100 these days with computers.

Any other potential thoughts of what I could change? Say trying to keep to a £1200 budget.
 
Sounds good I've added that to the basket but the only reason I really picked the vertex was for the Free BF3 game. But if its a better drive that's better for me :)
