Good suggestions so far - thanks. Will need OS, DVD Drive and K/B Mouse, could go to £1100 with these.

 

[Lemin]

Not much choice for speakers, atm

Do you need a headset or speakers?

Excellent selection there Sparx. I'd like to get a 120/144Hz screen if possible and speakers, looks like the budget will need to be £1200.... unless I went for a cheaper Case and a Hybrid drive opposed to SSD?

 

[Sparx]

You can squeeze in a 144Hz monitor with £1200. The AOC is currently out of stock though, but a nice panel for 144Hz if you can wait for it to come back in.

Otherwise you're going up another £50. As next up would be the £230 equivalents the BenQ or Asus.

If I'm honest OcUK don't have a great selection of speakers, so I've left <£50 of the budget for you to decide and source a pair...

EDIT: I wouldn't go for a hybrid drive, SSDs are much better. And you can't get rid of the case, we have a nice red theme going...

That case isn't so good for airflow

Nothing wrong with the H440 airflow.

It's only the little brother S340 which has 'better' airflow...

 

[Bickaxe]

The H440 does not have an optical bay so the DVD drive would be external

Good suggestion although I need to order pretty sharpish, will need to change the HS/F as that's out of stock also.

Nice Build I'm gonna post one soon so could I have opinions?
Thanks

 

[Uther]

I'd go for the retail copy of W10, it's not much more.

 

[VTR]

Just about to order, final thoughts? What's the retail cooler like? If no good, what's a good one in stock for under £20?
