Hi there,
I'm new to the forums, and looking for some advice
I'm looking to build a new PC from scratch, I live abroad atm parts here are bad so OCUK has been a savior, I would like to know any comments/suggestions for the following setup, and thoughts on the cooling specifically, the case/cooler should be enough, its just with the room temperature here being 35-45 degrees in the summer, would be nice to keep it running smooth, current setup has one broken CPU fan, the side of my case off, with a huge desktop fan pointing inside to keep it cool, it works;D but would be nice to have a PC with a proper cooling system ^^
Here are the parts I'm looking at;
Any thoughts of my suggestions/possible upgrades? looking to keep the price range of £1300 roughly, This will be the first PC i've built myself, so what other things will I need with these parts, how much thermal paste? do i need extra cables/screws?
Thanks in advance
Russell
