Hi,

I was looking to build a desktop for around £700 and this is what I managed to spot on the website. Are these products worth the money or should I be swapping them for others:

CPU Cooler: Be Quiet! Shadow Rock SR2
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-006-BQ&groupid=701&catid=2330

TOTAL PRICE: £688


Are these parts good for the price or should I be going for something else?

I don't mind spending a bit more as long as its worth the extra.

Thanks

Hi Rowan,

Included quality case, upped GPU to a 280 and got the nicer-looking and better model Be Quiet cooler.


YOUR BASKET
1 x Asus Z97-K - Devils Canyon Core i5 4690K Bundle **£14 Saving** £246.58

1 x SuperFlower Golden Green HX 550W "80 Plus Gold" Power Supply - Black £49.99
1 x Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache WD10EZEX - OEM ** Single Platter ** HDD £42.98
Total : £715.10 (includes shipping : £8.00).




The red colour on the bottom of the GPU won't be seen once on the motherboard, and it has a nice (black) backplate.

Far better PSU as well.

You don't need the expensive Be Quiet cooler really, but it performs very well and would look fantastic.

You could include an SSD if you went for a cheaper case and cooler.
