Looks good, I'd however downgrade the cooler since you are not planning to overclock. The ASUS 27' Monitor comes with DVI cables, I had to buy one longer than 2 meters only to make sure it reached the end of my set up since the first monitor was far away from my rig.

Will do! I think I might need a long one to go round the back of my 40 Litre fridge in my room Cheers Ruben for your everlasting help! Anything else?

You forgot patience, 690 on order, sit back and chillax.

 

[Branflakesnmilk]

Haha, yea! I'm selling my old PC as well! Going to be PC-less for over a month!
Think I might buy a laptop XD I need one for work and college, so might as well do that!

 

[Wolvo7]

Yeah one last thing give us your address and the times your house is usually empty. A map detailing nearby cameras and guard dogs would be cool too. :ninja:

 

[Branflakesnmilk]

Haha, wanna watch out, I have guard cats!

Hope you're not impatient, I've been waiting for my PC from 16-05-2012 because they have no GTX 690's. Pre-Production 14th day

 

[Branflakesnmilk]

I don't mind. The waiting will kill me though! Is it worth the wait though? I'm upgrading from a 550ti from my old pc to a 690 on this pc.
