Building a new computer, before I order, can a few of you give your opinions and suggestions. I have a few concerns and questions about it, but before I ask them, here is the build:
YOUR BASKET
1 x Asus GeForce GTX 560Ti DirectCU II TOP 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card **Supplied with BattleField 3 & Batman: Arkham City PC game** £194.99
1 x Radon 720a AMD Phenom II X6 1055T 2.80GHz @ 3.80GHz Overclocked Bundle £194.99
1 x Antec TruePower New Modular 550W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £59.99
1 x BitFenix Merc Alpha Gaming Case - Black £32.99
1 x Sony Optiarc AD-7280S 24x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM £19.99
5 x Akasa AK-191-BL Blue Ultra Quiet 120mm Fan - 3 Pin £29.95
1 x Akasa AK-MX002 PSU and Fan Noise reduction Kit £3.98
1 x Akasa AK-TK-02 Cable Tidy Kit £2.99
Total: £791.32 (Inc. DPD Next Day Parcel Shipping of £13.75)
GFX - I'm torn between the 560 and 6870. Comparison websites show the 560 is better, and the one in my build has better specs and comes with BF3 (I want!). But the 6870 is cheaper, opinions?
CPU Cooler - The one provided in the bundle isn't that good and is loud, would it be worth investing in a better air cooler or Antec Watercooler?
PSU - Seems fine, am I right? I've always thought the quality of the PSU is what counts, but I haven't used Antec PSU's so I am blind as to how they perform.
Case - Looked at a few reviews, but would it be worth going the extra mile and buying a CM 690-II?
Noise Reduction.. - I want to try keep a quite PC, has anyone used these?
That is all, thanks for reading, any advise or suggestions are more than welcome!
