Do you need a monitor, keyboard and mouse or operating system with this?

 

[jamesfreddie]

Thanks for that, i've amended with your reccomendations

It doesn't need to be that big, I rarely download lots of films and games etc. 250GB would be more than enough...priority for me is speed I guess.

EDIT: and you were right in buying individually, i'm getting all excited ahha!

Just looked at your budget and i would reccomend a NH D14 on that budget.

This HDD, Seagate 500GB. It is £62.99.

Although, I would wait for Kepler to be released (Nvidia's new GPU's) before making a decision

EDIT: added mouse and OS

[esk1mooo]

was meant to be a smiley face lol ***

Oh, and I definitely wish I got a bigger SSD, it's full already with the OS and 1 game, haha. Oops!

 

[beejjacobs]

Any reason you went for P67 over Z68?

Will still be a very nice system.

 

[esk1mooo]

no not really, to be honest I wasn't sure myself and went with what was advised.
What is your opinion on it?

 

[Marmot]

A very nice build indeed, I hope you're happy with it!

The mobo is fine, Z68's are just a little more future-proof as they will be compatible with Ivy Bridge CPUs after a bios update.

 

[Zechris]

Do OCUK assemble and overclock systems that people have designed themself?

Yes you can ring them up and they will build a spec for you, or start a thread in the Customer Services forum:

Yes, am very happy. It's very fast too. Shame I didn't get a bigger SSD tbh, but that's something I can add later on.

 

[Ohlawll]

Why did you buy a P67 board and not a Z68 ;x!
