You dont need to waste £50 on the Killer NIC

The Samsung F3 is a faster HDD.

MSI are offering VAT cashback and the board is a Gen3.

One DVD drive is enough.

(chose the MSI one because Asus is out of stock, does it matter much?)

Nope.

get the retail cpu for £6 extra as it includes 3yrs warranty

z68 over p67 if buying before 21st maybe worth looking at the msi g3 motherboards as you get 20% cashback

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-368-GI&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1990 this seems to be the popular choice

if not planning on xfire/sli in future http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-364-GI&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1990

don't bother with the bigfoot network card, not worth the money as you don't get much performance benefit.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-081-SA&groupid=1657&catid=1660&subcat=1664 over the wd, if you can reuse an old sata harddisk then will be a lot better

if you're not planning on sli hen 650w would be fine, antec, corsair, xfx would be my choice but I'm sure others disagree.

That fine.

The Retail CPU is £6 more,

• 3 vs 1 year warranty
• And includes a box and stock heatsink.

nilzg · 11 Nov 2011 at 15:49

Yes I've changed it, thanks for all the help!
