Spec check for final bits

HouR · 20 Jun 2011 at 21:29

Hi guys,

Just looking for a last minute check before I buy the below:

It will go with:
Thermalright Archon CPU Cooler
Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache
5770 Crossfire
DVD rewriter drive

I think I will end up with a pretty good system as Im looking for quite an upgrade on my current spec.
CPU should make all the difference.

Is there anything you would change on what Im buying for any obvious reason - Budget is pretty maxed at current cost?

Cheers,
ash

Drop to 4GB of RAM, then swap to this case to show off the gear,

I agree with what your saying but the 8 Gig is more important to me.
Im coming from a Chieftec dragon (finally get rid of 80mm fans!) windowed case with UV lights and everything and just fancy something more plane.

If I could afford a Lian Li I would but I cant

The CM-690 does seem to be the best for the price to me.

Thanks for the input though.

Can I interest you in this?

yes you can, any specific reason?
TBH my choice was between the cm-690, haf and scout as there all the same price.
I just thought the CM-690 was the better of them?

I know the HAF may be better cooling but Im not sold on the looks as much.

thanks for the advice guys.

Did go for the outlined spec in the first post - sorry stulid, just like the cleaner looks of the 690
