looks great, one question why do you have a WD Secure Connect cable in there? your going to buy a Seagate HDD.

Also you might think about a different cooling solution, the Tuniq Tower comes recommended.

 

[MikeBUK]

Err no idea, does the SATA stuff I ordered come with cables?

Also.....I want to overclock a little (No at expense of noise though), so whatever cooler works best for that is good for me.

Ta for feedback

very good spec, what i would change:


get rid of the secure connect cable, mainboard come with about 100 of these.

change akasa ambers for either (in this order)

the amber's are overrated, these fans are not.

freezer 7 is a very loud cooler, (in this order)
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-000-SB
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-006-SY
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-003-SY
are better choices.

had experience with all of these products, so im posting from my own experience.

Tuniq will fit in the case and with that mainboard.
On the lowest fan setting will be inaudible and keep the cpu cool, you can turn it up for overclocking

those fans are much better than the crappy akasa's, they actually push air.

Everything else looks fine.

Spec is great,

as above i would recommend a different cooler, I had a freezer 7 and i found it rubbish...


I wil be either getting a tuniq tower or scythe ninja

 

[melbourne720]

lay-z-boy talking sense. Go with his recommendations and you'll have a great build.

Many thanks all, now just the easy part of persuading other half I need this
