I'm going to be getting some money next week and am up for spending around £1,100 max probably. Mainly going to be playing games,uni work and also some other stuff related to my degree in networking. I already have a NZXT 410 Midi tower, Antec True Power 550w 80+ bronze PSU and San Disk Extreme 120gb SSD for my OS which i hopefuly can use with this build.
Main reasons for picking the i7 and not the i5 is that i have some lee way due to already having a case,ssd and psu which hopefully should be alright as i'm only planning to run one gfx card as of now. Also opting for windows 7 as i prefer it and am not keen on using the trial/purchasing W8.
I was thinking about 16gb ram but went for the 8gb 2133mhz ram instead as it will probably be more useful than the 16gb, also taking into account the i7 is probably overkill for gaming but will probably be put to use at a later date.
Also wondering if i can rely on this refurbed H100? was thinking about sticking with a high-end air cooler but then I'll have to take clearance into account.
Also my other components i will be selling in a few months to a family member (will use this money for something else)
