Hey guys, building a new PC and I've created a build but before I buy everything I'd really appreciate if you could have a look over it and suggest any recommendations or problems with the components I have selected.

Also, what cheap optical drive would you suggest?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the quick reply, regarding that PSU and reading the customer review, do you have any idea if the cables would be long enough for my case?

Just get an extension cable to be on the safe side. The only one you might have issues with is the cpu (EPS) cable, as it will need to reach behind the Motherboard and up to the socket.

YOUR BASKET
1 x NZXT 8-Pin (EPS12V) Black Sleeved 25cm Extension Cable - CB-8P (CB-8P) £3.49
Total : £5.77 (includes shipping : £1.90).




The Graphics card cables are listed as 550mm and the 24 pin is 540mm so they should reach ok. See link below for source.

Ok, I'll make sure to get the extension.
Does anybody have any suggestions of a cheap but reliable optical drive?
