-unsnip nevermind was thinking right can you post links so I can see the prices with VAT more easily, some of those prices look quite high
[QUOTE=reapaninja;31092306]can you post links so I can see the prices with VAT more easily[/QUOTE] I have added them at the bottom :)
use scan instead, better prices better product selection and should work out cheaper swap the mobo for an asus P8P67 PRO swap the PSU for an XFX 750W for the same price, same OEM for the internals and if you pay a little more you can get the modular version and remove some unnecessary cables swap the RAM for [url]http://www.scan.co.uk/products/4gb-%282x2gb%29-corsair-ddr3-xms3-pc3-12800-%281600%29-non-ecc-unbuffered-cas-9-9-9-24-xmp-165v[/url] hell whatever I'll throw up a wishlist, just give me a few mins [editline]13th July 2011[/editline] [url]http://www.scan.co.uk/savedbasket/02fc2f84e3d44413aace331861eed48b[/url] £785.82 including next day delivery, remember to remove scansure you might want to ring and check whether the case and cooler are in stock or not, scan's stock system can be a little funky if not you can order it now and every other item will be reserved until the rest is in, or you can have everything in stock delivered now and the others when they're in stock but then you have to pay delivery twice

[QUOTE=MrFishcake;31093128]Just a few questions: 1) Why swap the Ram for the corsair if im using 15 2500k, The Ripjaws are build for sandy bridge cpu's 2) whats wrong with the psu i chose these arnt questions so il just say it all at once I originally had that p8p67 selected as my mobo in basket, but after looking at various reviews, the asrock was overall more reliable and got better scores on average. and also id rather have the gtx 560ti twin frozr model than the one you chose for the basket [editline]13th July 2011[/editline] Changed it a little [img]http://gyazo.com/7b24e3bca9abfc1c30fc459ea60855d8.png[/img ][/QUOTE] RAM is RAM, DDR3 is DDR3, etc. if it says it's "made for [platform]" it's just marketing bullshit and unless you're doing synthetic benchmarks and an increase in pointless numbers is all you're looking for just go with whatever RAM is cheapest without being suspicious (and preferably low profile to avoid compatibility problems with CPU heatsinks) in this case the corsair was cheapest on scan the TX_50V2s and the xfx PSUs use the same Seasonic internal components except XFXs are cheaper (or offer modular versions for around the same price as the TXV2s) so the XFX 750W is effectively the TX750V2 for the same price as the TX650V2 Asrock is a split off company from Asus that are more dedicated to lower end boards, for lower end they are great but when they're the same price as asus, msi or gigabyte it's better to go with one of them most reviews (especially for stuff like motherboards which aren't ass different as two different graphics cards) end up being more of a general impression and unless you're looking at reviews directly comparing these two motherboards take it with a pinch of salt the twin frozr 2 is good but not £20 good, the directcu is still perfectly capable of cooling a 560 better than the stock cooler and IIRC quieter than the frozr and any factory overclocking can be done yourself by spending 10 seconds moving some sliders in MSI Afterburner then stress testing for a while
