Building a new rig and I think I have everything, and I'm no computer techie so I was wandering if everything here will be compatible.

Quick note on the motherboard+soundcard. The MB I have, Intel DP67BGB3, has a built in soundcard. It's 105 pounds (aprox.) and it saves you some money if you actually buy that one instead of that motherboard and then a soundcard.
Now that you mention it, this has an on-board, so I could get rid of the sound card and add one of those unbranded optical drives, around the same price and I forgot to add it before.
Pretty much 99% of motherboards (if not 100%) made in the last decade have on-board sound. Also, have you compared prices from other websites, such as eBuyer, Dabs and Scan? Always found OcUK to be more expensive than elsewhere.
Well, I wanted to use Overclockers because of the bundles that support each other, and are a good price as far as I can tell. Also I think I'd like to water cool this as in future I'll be upgrading it as I get more money, so water cooling would be a good idea, and it gets hot in my room as my window cannot open at the moment. Unfortunately I have no idea where to start...

Alright then, well I'm going to buy this now, with a few changes. Post them later. Anyone know a network adaptor that could [B]a)[/B]fit the mobo I mentioned in OP [B]b)[/B]reach through 3 floors of good solid granite housing and still perform exceedingly well. Sounds bad but I can download on some pretty bad laptops from up there at 1.3-4mbps on most days.
