I managed to bag myself the following for £600.
i7 980x Extreme
6gb Corsair Dominator
Asus Rampage III
Corsair HX850
Crucial C300 256GB
NZXT Vulcan Case
2 x Pioneer Blu-Ray Drives
Corsair H50
Now all I need is a graphics card (or 2?). I have been looking at the Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5850 Extreme that OcUK has on offer however I cannot fit 2 cards in their at the moment as the Corsair H50 pipes won't go across the PCI-e slot if a 5850 is in there. It fits fine if the card is put in the lower slot (advised by the previous owner).
Any advice? Should I swap the H50 for something air cooled? If so what would you recommend? Or should I just stick with 1 x card in the bottom slot?
