could you please paste the whole spec please, there are other parts that you may need help on, such as the hard drive, which is, believe it or not, the bottleneck of your computer most likely

 

[TheKeir]

Yeah, I'm afraid we can't really help unless you give us the whole spec. Just copy and paste the entire thing and then we can help you

nice spec mate, real good,

only things i'd do
1. go for a 1tb seagate or caviar black drive over the standard sata drive, will be alot faster and better performing
2.get a 650w corsair, very reliable and energy efficient, exactly what you want in a psu.
3.get the triple copper cooler for 19quid, going to give you better cpu temps for a low price.
4 If you can afford i'd go for a 22inch IIyama monitor.

edit - get the extra warrant for a fiver, upgrades return and collect for a year

 

[mr-greenkey]

Some people prefer third party coolers but with that computer the standard cooler will be fine. [Edit by Rakk: no competitor links please].
