Increasing build budget from £700 to £850

[BrainDeath]

I was building this: [url]http://www.scan.co.uk/savedbasket/a99327f1dd284de99b7cff9cf3e429b8[/url]
But I have run into some money recently and I want to know how best to upgrade it.
I have os, monitor etc. If I want to stay nvidia for the gpu and I am keeping the scansecure, as this is my first build.

Help very much appreciated.

Replace 912 with the 932: [url]http://www.scan.co.uk/products/coolermaster-haf932-black-high-air-flow-tower-case-w-o-psu[/url]

Replace 600cx with XFX 750w: [url]http://www.scan.co.uk/products/750w-xfx-black-edition-modular-80-plus-silver-88-eff-sli-crossfire-eps-12v-135mm-fan[/url]

Replace 560 with 570: [url]http://www.scan.co.uk/products/1280mb-evga-gtx-570-40nm-3800mhz-gddr5-gpu-732mhz-shader-1464mhz-480-cores-dl-dvi-mhdmi[/url]

Something like ~£846.37 with VAT.

there's also [url]http://www.scan.co.uk/products/fractal-design-define-xl-black-pearl-mid-tower-case-w-o-psu[/url] for the case, it's massively cheap right now (normally between 110-130 IIRC, maybe more)

I doubt that XFX PSU will come in stock, they've all been out for a couple of months now, so maybe swap it with [url]http://www.scan.co.uk/products/850w-silverstone-striderplus-modular-80-plus-silver-88-eff-19db-sli-crossfire-eps-12v-135mm-fan[/url] (or the 750W version but this is only £7 more so whatever)

there's also [url]http://www.scan.co.uk/products/4gb-%282x2gb%29-corsair-xms3-classic-ddr3-pc3-12800-%281600%29-non-ecc-unbuffered-cas-9-9-9-24-15v[/url] slightly faster for the same price

actually i would say go with everything reap suggested + a 570, comes to £852.42

[BrainDeath]

I love you guys. I shall be ordering this evening!

I've made the changes you guys suggested, but now it comes to £877 if you include the £25 of scansecure. Considering that I've never even changed a stick of RAM before, would it be wise to remove the insurance?

[Armotekma]

The RAM should come with a manufacturer warranty that you can RMA via their site.

The website should also have a 30 day refund policy(?)

[BrainDeath]

But what about all of the other expensive components, or is it really hard to actually break things.

[Armotekma]

You can do 570 SLI on 750w, it will work perfectly fine.

It's pretty hard to break things unless you intentionally do it or it's already DOA. Everything comes with a manufacturers warranty if the website doesn't provide it's own 30 Day RMA thing.

[BrainDeath]

Ok, thanks for the help.

watch a few build guides on youtube, once you know the basics it's hard to fuck up because everything has it's place

yeah the only reason I stuck the 850w version in there was because there's only a small price difference, plus less load = cooler, quieter PSU
