It's been a few years since I did a full system build. Happy to say my past efforts have stood the test of time though, my parents have an old system I made in 2006 thats still ticking along. Though its CPU did go boom a few years back (it was a decent one too!). Also its Radeon X1900 died suddenly, which was sad.

But yeah on topic, did not opt for proper watercooling since I have no experience with that to be honest. But I wanted something good so I can do some overclocking if I decide to, and the MicroATK form factor is just because -well I don't want a honking great tower full of empty space! I dont use optical drives etc so.

The following look ok? Also (@OcUK) is there any discounts for loyal customers buying entire PC builds from you? ;) :p /cheeky

If I buy this stuff, does OcUK charge you instantly? Because that case is not in till 10th October so that's quite a wait.
 
Why's that? Tbh I went with Corsair because the case/cooler etc is all Corsair. Seemed appropriate. Is there anything I should be aware of with them?
 
Good catch Threepwood. I do have RAM I can use out of my current system but probably be nicer to get something faster (and new lol).

Ah hmmm I was going for a bit of a Corsair theme, but I guess it makes sense. I did have a Superflower PSU on my previous build idea (going for a 5820K).
