    My Build - Have I missed anything?

    Howdy all, been picking up parts for a few months and have finally got a complete system.
    Need a decent keyboard and mouse still, but the last bits for the build of my rig are arriving next week. This is what I've gone for:

    M/Board, RAM and CPU:
    Asus Motherboard P8P67 PRO
    i7 2600k
    8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600hz RAM
    £269 (Forums)

    OS: Windows 7 Pro - £40 (Forums)

    GPU: N560GTX-TI Twin Frozr II/OC - 1GB MSI GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr II OC
    £170 (Dabs -in Offer + Free Arkham City)

    PSU: Antec True Power New 750W Modular Power Supply
    £75.59 (SCAN Daily Deal)

    BR DRIVE: Samsung SH-B123L (RETAIL)
    £46.79 (SCAN Daily Deal)

    HDD: 1TB F3 Samsung
    £39.59 (SCAN Daily Deal)

    SSD: 64GB Crucial RealSSD M4, 2.5" SSD, SATA III New Version (SCAN Daily Deal)
    £76.79

    COOLING: 120mm Scythe Gentle Typhoon 1450 rpm Cooling Fan x 2
    £23.95 (SCAN)

    Corsair H60
    £49.99 (Dabs)

    CASE: Define R3 Black Pearl Mid-Tower USB 3.0 Case
    £74.98 (Dabs)

    Total build = £866.68 delivered.

    Anything I'm missing apart from keyboard/mouse? Seem like a decent build?

    Cheers

    It seems quite decent. I would also have gone with the KÜHLER H₂O 620 cooler though.

    Yeah it was a toss up between the two - I may cancel it and get myself the Kuhler instead.

    Can I ask were you got the Motherboard and Win 7 Pro from, seems a very good price for the Win 7 especially. Looks like a pretty solid build to me.

    Re: My Build - Have I missed anything?

    Sure thing. As it states I got them from forums - mainly NTSC-UK, where I am a writer

    They were both new sets Cheers. I believe the seller of the motherboard bundle had bought new from Novatech and decided didn't want it, but couldn't return so was offering at a cheap price.

    I did also pick up a Win 7 Ultimate for £50 brand new from their, from an ex-Rare employee but had to sell that with my Bootcamp-ed Mac
