Sanity check my order before purchase

Hi All

This is what I'm thinking of buying for a mid-range PC. Are the components compatible or are there glaring errors? Any areas where I can save money?

cheers

As above, unless you specifically need one don't bother.

Also I'd recommend sourcing windows 7 or 8/8.1 else where and using the free windows 10 upgrade. Much cheaper and you can use the extra money to get maybe a k processer and a z97 board and a better cooler or a better GPU

Sorry, not commenting on your post but how do you insert basket of components that you're going to buy. I can't see an obvious way of doing it.

Cheers

You don't need a CD Drive, get rid of it.

How do you install software ie the operating system from disks - just d/l from the net?
