Greetings

[Dayve]

Just ordered a new PC from the site and thought I'd join the forums and say hello.

Hi Dayve, enjoy the wait for your PC. Hopefully it'll be well worth it.

Why not post up the spec?

 

[Rakk]

Hi and welcome to the forums.

And yes if you post your spec in the 'Check this spec' forum, people will be able to tell you what they think of it and possibly suggest changes that may benefit you.

I've taken out the things where I left them blank in the selecting stage. I meant to put a 750gb caviar black hard drive with 64mb cache, somehow made a mistake. I'll be calling them to change it.

Very nice, it's a similar spec to the rig I'm planning on buying.

Do you intend to add any additional hard drives or graphics card, because at the moment I imagine the PSU is more than you're going to need and you might get away with the 650W Corsair

I would change the case to either Haf 912 plus or Cm 690 II advanced or cm storm enforcer, for better cable management and more features, and a black interior

To be honest I just got it because it was only an extra £10 or something like that and it'll give me plenty room to upgrade in the future.

I can't really go any higher in price now... I can just about manage the extra £5 for the 750gb hard drive. To be honest, I've never been one for fancy cases. As long as it has good air flow and holds everything inside, I don't care what it looks like.
