Hi

I've been asked to put together a build (£1200 Max) for my brother in law.

He's got the keyboard, monitor, mouse and OS already.

This is what I've come up with, but I'm not sure which case would be best for the remaining £80. Can you suggest a case please.

Is there anything you would change?

Thanks

Is he a big overclocker or will he just go for a mild OC later on?

As for the case, Ronin. :)

He's not going to do any OC'ing to start, however in a few years when it starts showing it's age he may do.

@ExRayTed, is there any one in particular you would recommend?
 
LOL Doh, sorry I wasn't paying attention... I need more coffee. :)

How much better is the free cooler compared to the H100i?

Just asking in case it's out of stock.

Click to expand...

Easy to miss, no worries.

Its not better but its Free.

It will keep the CPU within 50C/55C at stock which is more than acceptable.

The H100i will be better but it costs a lot more.

The UD4H is a much better motherboard too.

Oh, and the free cooler will be quieter. :)
 
Cool thanks for letting me know and your help has been awesome :)

I'll pass it on to him and see what happens.

Muchos gracias.
