Could you check my build please?

[Djini]

I have a £1000 budget and will be placing an order with you come Monday (once my bonus is paid ) I did ask on another thread on here earlier but didn't get an answer, I've revised it a bit anyway since then so could you tell me if this is a well balanced system for the money? Maybe I should do things differently but I wanted a good spec PC for now, with the option of adding a second GPU later (although I'm not overblown by XF/SLI).

Scan's savedbasket = 6476bbe14239470ba3242da47a0f3aa

(I already have a case, 880w tagan PSU, Windows 7 licence, and peripherals). I need a good screen too.

I'll be using it for gaming and would like to experience them with maximum settings, or damn close to it!

I am an experienced builder ( ) so self-assembly doesn't scare me, but it's always good to check before I hit the 'buy' button

After checking that list I cannot see any issues at all with the configuration.

The only thing we would recommend possibly changing is the RAM to the low profile varients so you can fit the bigger coolers in the future if you find that the arctic doesn't cut the mustard and you want greater CPU performance by overclocking it more.

The LP variants of the memory can be found at the following links ;

Ordered first thing this morning.

Will be interesting to see if it lands on the expected delivery date (tomorrow) which would be pretty damn quick!
