Looks ok.

This SSD - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-056-CR&groupid=1657&catid=2101&subcat=2393 - cheaper and faster (the V300 have some history of using lower grade NAND than the samples sent to reviewers, so the numbers dont live up to hype).

5960xNvidiaGamer · 30 Jun 2015 at 21:37

I already have a Crucial mx100 and a few OCZ ssd's mate. Can't wait to order, feel like a kid at christmas haha. Might change the Triton to the corsair H110i gt but im very happy with the rest and not changing them.

stulid · 30 Jun 2015 at 21:47

Just wondered about the SSD, if you are looking to buy it for you or someone else, get the Crucial.

ExRayTed · 30 Jun 2015 at 21:49

Just installed a Triton in a white and blue themed system. Actually quite quiet and keeps temps low. Only slight downside is the led in the reservoir isn't very bright.

5960xNvidiaGamer · 1 Jul 2015 at 12:37

Is the 5930k im getting worth it over the 5820k? Also will I be able to get the ram on the rate 2666mhz easily enough?

stulid · 1 Jul 2015 at 14:38

Ram wont be an issue.

Th 5390K has more pci-e lanes so multi card setups and using other addin cards is easier to setup.

5960xNvidiaGamer · 1 Jul 2015 at 19:56

I won't be able to order till the 17th July

. I hope you will still have the ram on sale I have chosen.

Edit - Just noticed the sale on those is already over. Still buying them though.

jjgreenwood · 1 Jul 2015 at 20:15

for this sort of money wouldn't this be better for gaming performance?

Just check before you buy as something always appears on offer.

Would rather build myself mate and I want ddr 4

5960xNvidiaGamer · 3 Jul 2015 at 18:32

Im tempted to go for the 5960X instead of the 5930X and just 16gb of ram, what do you think guys?

stulid · 3 Jul 2015 at 18:39

I love my 5690X.

So much power and I have a nice overclock on it.

ShivP · 3 Jul 2015 at 18:39

If it were me I'd go 5960X, then you can say you have 8 cores

Im considering it mate, would have to drop to 16gb instead of 32gb though if I did.

When you ever going to use 32GB?

DaleTheWhale · 4 Jul 2015 at 12:27

Use white led's instead, colours wash everything out and everything just looks red. White shows off parts nicely, like the watercooling tubes and GPU/motherboard highlights.

5960xNvidiaGamer · 4 Jul 2015 at 12:52

Never thought about that, thanks a lot Reaper. Would 1 of these be enough do you think?
