Hi,
Building a new PC for a friend with a budget of £1500
Hoping to order in the next hour or two, so just a final check to see if any of you guys can recommend any last minute changes.

Any feedback is great - thanks :)

CPU
Intel Core i5 760 - This week only £138.16

MOBO
Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD5 - £149.99

RAM
Patriot Viper 2 Sector 5 4GB x 2 (8gb) - This week only £99.99 each

GPU
MSI GeForce GTX 460 Cyclone 1024MB x 2 SLI - £319.98 for both

HDD
Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB x 3 - £43.99 each

Crucial RealSSD C300 64GB x 1 - For OS/Boot - £121.99

CASE
NZXT Phantom Enthusiast Full Tower Case - White - £119.99

PSU
Corsair HX 750W ATX Modular SLI Compliant £120.98

TOTAL = £1303.52

This build is purely for gaming - and occasional video editing/photo but not extreme. He also want's to be able to show off and 'brag' about it.

Any suggestions? Will be ordering within an hour :)
 
I just checked on google, and Wow, I didn't realise how much better the 6870's in CF are.
Will be changing them now, thanks :)

I think i'll stick with the i5 build, despite the lack of upgradable in future, because of performance in games for price.

What PSU do you recommend? I've always trusted corsair as a brand and never had issues, but the price is pretty high I admit.

I agreed the case is expensive, but man it looks pretty, and he likes it too. After all, if it's the one he want's ^^

Yes he does need Windows, and a DVD drive *facepalm* that would have been embarrassing ordering it and forgetting those!

I thought why not get 8gb, for that price and performance! It is overkill tho, but he can brag about it lol

Thanks for suggestions.
