Spec Check - Recommendations before basket

Hey!

Any recommendations as to what I've built so far? been a while since I've done one. As my last machine has lasted a long time! so it's time for a refresh

much love!

You might want to save a lot of money with the i7 2600K which is just 100MHz slower than the 2700K.

Also theres a distinct lack of cooling for the CPU, if you got a Retail CPU it includes a heatsink+fan.

What is this PC used for? a i5 2500K maybe a cheaper and equally as good choice of CPU.

if you have an old sata hard disk you canuse you will save £170, or if you don't then either get the samsung spinpoint f3 and save £50(don't really need sata 3 speeds on the hard disk) or get a lower capacity and save a bit more(then once the prices come down get more).
