Thats £1500 once you take the delivery and cashback into account.
 
Gaming and general browsing on web, I heard 16GB helps a lot if you have loads of tabs open while browsing and gaming with dual monitor.
Im really not a big fan of W8 and i went with Ducky Shine because of the different lighting modes it has (Dont know if K70 has those)
 
Well for Gaming 8GB is fine.

What do you mean by dual monitors? movie on one while gaming/webbrowsing on the other etc?

The K70 doesn't have multiple lighting modes. Ducky Shine 4 is out in a month or two.

Gaming on one monitor and twitch streams/multiple browsers on the other.

Ok ill use the K70 untill the DS4 is out, didnt know it was so soon thanks.

Oh by the way would my first build not fit in the NZXT mid tower? I plan on getting a new desk but a full tower looks so huge lol.
 
It fits, I just went for one with matching colour.

Look at the dimensions, is the Phantom 530 really that much bigger?

215 x 516 X 532 mm VS 235mm x 572mm x 543mm

I really liked the red theme but i wanted a little more black so i switched the ram and got 1TB instead of 2 just to drop the price a little.

One more question, should i order it now with 2 items not in stock (One being the case) or wait a little longer for it to restock? I kind of want 1 delivery date unless i can ask them to deliver after 6PM.
