Planning to do this in just about a month, dont a heck of a lot of research so i dont think theres anything better i could do at the price, but any suggestions of things ive missed maybe, would be helpful.

EDIT: oops , forgot to add im NOT getting the fractal design core 3000 case, i was just using it as a placeholder for the corsair 200R

The build looks fine - have you also considered the Corsair 300R case??

how much money are you saving by shopping around?

I generally prefer to buy all of my components from one place as it's easier for me to deal with RMA issues should things go wrong, plus where delivery is applicable I only pay for delivery once.

Also with eBuyer, the last time I used them, free delivery used to take a week.

Sorry, forgot to add that im actually going to get the corsair 200r case, was just using the fractal as a placeholder since its the same price . Was considering the 300r too , but comparing the 2 side by side theres no need to pay £10-£15 more for 300r.

This site just lists the cheapest place for each part, when it comes to buying ill probably check scan for a bundle cpu+mobo+ram, im probably be splitting the majority of things between amazon and scan, with just the gpu from overclockers i think.

I've not seen that site before, but it looks like it would be a good place for initial research. I've bookmarked it. But I'll probably stick to buying everything in one place as I'm really bad at keeping my invoices together, so it's easier to look up my order history to get those details.

Oh, its a fantastic site, it started in the us but has spread to other countries, it basically lists every part available and frequently updates price (although sometimes not every retailers part is on there) , very useful for comparing builds and theres also a function for showing off your completed builds. I guess its fair enough for the invoices but for a couple of my parts there is a significant difference.

Bigger SSD maybe? 120gb samsung available for not much more than the 64 is listed there

[flobbadob]

I am considering going for a 128gb ssd which costs £77, ill have to think about it though, not sure if im actually gonna use it all.

[whatup0000]

Why that CD drive isnt there one for £12 just a question?

And the SSD fills fast if you put most your games on it I have had to miss out 2 large games because it is only 60 and would recommend the 128gb just because it only cost £20 more and them games will load so much faster.
