Looking good, will you be using one GPU or crossfiring in the future?

If not you can drop the PSU to 550w.

The 290 would do the job , not sure that the extra £80 is worth it.

290 v 290x

Not really, what MickeyFlinn said perhaps, and if it was for me I'd get my preferred Avexir LED RAM, which is great for windowed cases and match that black/red theme you have going.

And then sell the AMD 8GB RAM, to recover some cash for the second 290 in XFire.

Red/black braided cables would look nice as well, and some white LEDs to highlight it all.

The fans on the H105 are (very) noisy on load but play about with CPU_FAN settings through BIOS or software to see if you can get the temps/noise ratio to your liking, before considering replacing with quieter ones.

yeah, i will be ordering parts of my system on wednesday, i'll go with the 290, similar fps etc but i won't be going for your ram choice, just because its out of stock and i would struggle to shift that 8gb, i find ebay an annoyance and this will be my first build so i'm not too fussed for looks atm, kind of sound like a numpty though because i'm buying a nice looking case but then allowing the innards to look poo, i will probably change the 105 fans if they are too loud but i will be gaming with a40s so doubt i will hear them much, thanks for your feedback/input mate


anybody else got some ideas?

xfire 290 - with 2 sets of 8gb ram, you can keep both, or sell on the 2nd set to recoup some of the £££
if you sell the 2 game codes and the extra ram, that'll bring it back down close to budget
