Hey there everyone!
I am about to order parts for my new desktop. From the Overclockers store very soon. I am rather new to all this though. So could you guys (the professionals

Skez0 · 7 Sep 2012 at 16:41

The max budget is £720 Though i prefer £700

And yes, of course I want Windows 7

Skez0 · 7 Sep 2012 at 16:44

Hmm. Alright thanks for the prosessor and gpu ideas! My friends however told me to stick with a 750w psu to be safe. But may I ask what's wrong witht he case? It comes with a massive side fan, along with a back fan? Thanks

Can I ask which is better:
i5-3570K
or
i5-2550K

Skez0 · 7 Sep 2012 at 16:50

Ah alright. So I will chaqnge to a 500w psu. What other case would you suggest which still looks fairly good?

Skez0 · 7 Sep 2012 at 16:57

Thanks! Although I won't be needing Windows 7. I have a new disk already.
Just looking at the processor and gpu now. Can I get an upgrade on either of those now since I don't need windows 7?

Skez0 · 7 Sep 2012 at 17:08

Well this is so almost perfect! But do you think you could find a slightly more badass case which is just as good for the same price?

Skez0 · 7 Sep 2012 at 17:57

Alright cool. But may I ask what was wrong with the first case I chose?

Skez0 · 7 Sep 2012 at 18:16

How about this:

And what is the thing that pulls out? And what is the difference between this and the silencer model? Thanks

I am thinking the first option. And the third option is slightly too pricey. But let me know what you guys think.

Skez0 · 7 Sep 2012 at 20:22

Anyone? Please?
