Going to be helping a friend build a computer but he wants a spec off you guys first :D

£1300 is the budget just for the tower with the os included.
He wants the corsair 540 case, and hes going for a nvidia gpu

The computer will be used soley for gaming, and he already has a 1tb hd so its just the ssd he needs. :)

He would also like options for watercooling if possible.
 
Two offerings (with some bling and colour-matching so not best bang for buck) to get things going.

That's a beauty of an air-cooled black/red spec from Stu. I'd probably spend the money for the CableMod cables on some nicer fans to match (given the PSU is hidden at the back and you'll only see four cables in the interior which you can get extensions for).

By the way, this filter can be taped to the bottom (fits perfect, just need a bit of sticky tape) and helps prevent dust as well as helps a bit to hide the hot-swap bay holes on the bottom:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Silverstone SST-FF142B Magnetic Fan Filter - 320x155mm £5.99



One for the PSU vents is also handy (anything 140mm-200mm size) for that case.
 
just any cable set will do one that will look nice :) and stu coucheers for the reply that build looks epic, which all in 1 water cooler for the cpu would be best please ??
 
H105 has a red plastic thingy you can add to the water block to help match the red+black build.

Or H110 for the all black option.

Think that's it, other than black/white and black/yellow (but there's a black/gold spec already and that's similar).

Cheaper extensions (although those CableMods do look spectacular):
