    Lightbulb Hi & Help?

    Although the title makes it seem as if I had taken drugs and needed help, I assure you that is not the case (today). I've been a big reader of Hexus reviews more so the last couple of weeks because I'm getting a build together. The last PC I bought was an alienware, which was fun but I wasted a lot of money but I digress.
    I'm getting a new sandy bridge build together and I wanted some opinions on brands or conflicts (if that's cool). The build looks like this so far:

    Core i5 2500K (hopefully I will be overclocking)
    Gigabyte P67 UD4
    Akasa Venom cooler
    4GB ram (not sure of a brand)
    2GB ATI 6950
    Corsair 650W modular PSU
    Corsair 650D case or the white Silverstone Raven 2.
    6gb/s 1TB HDD (any recommendations?)

    My budget is around £900-ish

    Thanks guys.

    Hi, false emperor, & welcome to HEXUS .

    Your best bet for technical/new build queries is to repost in the hardware sub-forum: http://forums.hexus.net/hexus-hardware/ (the welcome thread is mainly to introduce yourself, so the really hardened tech bods may not see your post here ). Good luck with the build.
