Hi,

Could you check the below spec for me, to see if anything could be improved/obvious errors - Thanks

I have a budget of approx £1000, the spec is for a gaming machine for FPS/MMO

Would the 750W power supply be able to support a second GT970 if added another down the line?

I already have OS/1 TB HDD/Monitor etc

Hi,

That PSU will power a 2nd GTX970.

Normal heatsink will be as good and cheaper.

How about a case with a window to show the internals off?
 
I would have thought something like this:

1 x Silverstone Tundra Series TD03 Liquid CPU Cooler £49.99
Total : £1,029.88 (includes shipping : £12.50).





The motherboard in that bundle, the BK, comes with a 3 year upgrade warranty, which is stunning.

Cut down the RAM to 8GB, all you'll need.

I think the ronin would cool SLI better, though the 330R is a nice case.

The TD03 has a thicker rad than the h55, so cools better (and is cheaper).

EVGA PSU, i think the warranty is longer.. :) Exactly the saem (internals) as the superflower (superflower is the OEM for the EVGA g2's)
 
 
Thanks for the help... I can't stand cases with windows personally so I'll stick with the Corsair 330, changed for the gigabyte BK offer - very nice :D and the silverstone block, and dropped to 8gb ram

I'll put the order in this week and aim for a delivery friday :):
