I've got no complaints

PSU will more than enough

Edit:

Perhaps this cooler: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-072-AK&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=1395

+1

@OP, Build looks great, but i'd get a better cpu cooler like the one suggested by RJC

Build is fantastic.

Whether you need the better cooler is mostly dependent on how high you want to overclock your CPU. If you want to make it absolutely fly, the one RJC recommended will be brilliant.

OR the Titan fenrir evo for £32.89 lol

Liampope · 31 Oct 2010 at 20:53

Perfect. Better cooler required for your 4GHz overclock

unfazedcc · 31 Oct 2010 at 20:54

what you do that for?

plenty of other cases with a similar look, but newer, and better cooling, and some nice features.

RJC · 31 Oct 2010 at 20:59

Hold on!!!!!

Just found a minor mistake:

Change the ram to this, http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-203-CS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1517

You have chosen triple channel memory with a dual channel system, give them a call first thing.

Jony27 · 31 Oct 2010 at 20:59

unfazedcc · 31 Oct 2010 at 21:00

A mate of mine has just got the antec 600 and was telling me how much he liked it, i was looking to buy one but OC are out of stock atm. i was torn between so many, maybe a bit of impulse buying at the end there.
