Hi,

Upgrade time for me. I've chosen the following parts below and would appreciate any input.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Asus Z97-K - Devils Canyon Core i5 4690K Bundle **£14 Saving** £278.58
1 x Sapphire Radeon R9 280 Dual-X 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £155.99
1 x Kingston HyperX Savage Red 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-19200C11 2400MHz Dual Channel Kit (HX324C11SRK2/8) £46.99
Total : £491.16 (includes shipping : £8.00).



I'm coming from a 960T system where currently using an Antech Kuhler, 620. I think, that's a couple of years old. It's a single 120mm, which I've put 2 Akasa Vipers fans on. If I can find the bracket I will try and reuse. But would like a 2nd opinion.

I've chosen the Sapphire card purely for the full size DP. Saves me buying another cable, when I have access to plenty of DP. Although I'm not against DVI.
 
I'd suggest:
YOUR BASKET
1 x Gigabyte Z97X-SLI - Devils Canyon Core i5 4690K Bundle **£12 Saving** £277.98
1 x MSI Radeon R9 280 Gaming 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £149.99
Total : £437.57 (includes shipping : £8.00).




Gigabyte have a UK based RMA which I'm assuming will help plus saves an extra £1 :D
As for the graphics card I purely picked it on price and colour scheme but there is absolutely nothing wrong with the Sapphire card :)

Edit - oh and +1 the Raijintek CPU cooler mentioned above.
 
Thanks fellas.

I really like AIO water coolers. As they chuck the heat straight out the back. Do you know if the one linked will take 2 fans in push / pull ?
What I have at the mo, is a bodge, with 2 screws holding each fan. The ones sold with 2, seem to be twice the price for an extra fan.
The MSI card was my original choice. Before the thought of faffing with cables entered my head. :)
