    Gaming PC ready to order!

    Hey guys,

    I'm going to be ordering this tomorrow/friday and was wondering if anyone has any critiques about it. I've also got to post 20 comments so this is going towards the count!

    Looks like a decent build to me, nice balance with graphics card, CPU & ram

    Should be able to run everything with at least 1920x1080 (1080p) resolution and all settings maxxed out

    Nice build I probably wouldn't have spent that much on a gpu but I'm kind of cheap also I would have gone for a semi/fully modular psu instead but that one does have nice asthetics.

    I think I'd have gone for this GPU, & overclocked it myself:

    Well worth waiting for one of these cases. I built my new build with one last week and is a joy to work with, solid (I realised how solid/heavy the case is when i walked out the shop holidng it ) Great performance and well worth the premium.

    Or stick with the lightning and upgrade to an MPower!

    Gotta keep the colours coordinated!

    But seriously yeah I agree, go for the red ones!

    Re: Gaming PC ready to order!

    Regarding the CPU cooler I think there are better options. The NH-D14 may have been the king in it's day but it's getting pretty old now.

    The newer U12S/U14S are supposed to offer better performance despite the smaller size.



    Even though you have specified LP memory the sheer bulk and weight of the D14 is still inconvenient.
