This is what i have chosen below.
I already have the following:
SSD 128gb
500gb hdd
windows 8
Asus M5A99X PRO R2.0 AMD 990X
16gb kingston blu hyper x 1600mhz


YOUR BASKET
1 x HIS Radeon R9 270X IceQ X2 Boost 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card with BattleField 4 PC Game Included £164.99
1 x Packard Bell Viseo 243D 24" Widescreen LED Monitor - Black £101.99
1 x BitFenix Ronin Tower Case - Black £69.95
1 x Akasa Cobra Power 650W Modular Power Supply PSU £55.99
1 x Corsair Hydro H100 Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler *Manufacturer Refurbished Unit - 90 Day Guarantee £44.99
2 x Corsair Air Series AF120 1500RPM LED Blue Quiet Edition - Dual Pack (CO-9050016-BLED) £16.99 (£33.98)
Total : £486.89 (includes shipping : £12.50).



Things to take into account as i am on a budget:
GPU - was initially set at £150 but may go up to £180 - would love a 7950
monitor - either 22 - 24 prerably with hdmi and speakers is a bonus
psu - good and cheap one that can support the gpu, dont really intend to crossfire as i am a casual gamer
case - must have side panel and support h100
fans - good quality, quiet and blue led


thoughts? for initial the budget is £500 - can be up to £650 but must include motherboard upgrade (sabertooth or crosshair v formula z)
 
Just to check: are those AF120s for the case or for the h100? If they're meant for the h100 you'd be better off with a couple of SP120s.
 
to idleman fx 8350
To fulax 2 are most likely for it.

If you guys can spec me something better or save me money for the same thing or so or any advice id appreciate it

The gpu is a bit of an overkill for things like dota, pro evo, world of warcraft, football manager...id only push to 600+ if i got a new motherboard too which apparently is not worth the upgrade if i dont crossfire and etc. so can we try keep it 500??
 
 
 
what you guys think of Akasa Cobra Power 650W Modular Power Supply PSU ? really want to get a modular psu for cable management

GPU is the 270 not the 270X. Can't find a review for this GB 270 but they do good stuff with a 3 year UK based warranty. From the reviews I've seen overclocking the 270 makes sense as the clock speed is the only real difference between it and the 270X. That said the GB 270X has a better cooler and is clocked 100Mhz faster for £15 more, seeing as you get a free game too with the GPU you can't really lose, even if you just sell it off ;)

PSU is semi-modular, I own the 630W version had it for sometime now very happy with it and the fan is very quiet. I've put the SP120 QEs in for the H100 fans (use the blue rings). If you want LED fans for the chassis (not rad), I would consider the Bitfenix Spectre Pros. I'd go with the black with white LED, this will help pick out the accented blue colour scheme. As the white LED is neutral they won't clash should you change the internals to a different colour scheme. Bitfenix do the Hydra Pro fan controller which can also toggle the LEDs on and off for their range of fans ;)

All the best with it bud I look forward to hearing your thoughts and what you settle on in the end :)
 
Might just go with the above, few questions. All other gpu shows the free item at bottom of the the price this one doesnt seem to?

Is 530w enough? Please explain semi modular? Some cables are attached i suspect?

Love the screen wouldn't have to buy a speaker and can plug in console (hdmi n others)

Ill be travelling to portugal tmr 6am for about a week, do you guys think there will be better deals the closer we get to xmas?

How do i go on about getting free post cause of my # of posts?

I will get those fans for the rad and probably 2 more led. And as far as fhe case goes am i righht to say no other case with a side panel and h100 compatability can match the ronin?
 
Bump. Coming back from portugal thursday and should order after that. Any input on tge above posts?
