Hi all, I am trying build my own pc, these are the specs that i have come up with. I know that the 16gb is a bit over kill, but its more for the "Future Proofing" if you know what i mean. Also i required the large hard drive because i have a rather large itunes and everything.
Any recommendations/tips?
Many thanks :) Your thoughts will be apprecitated! :)

1) Maybe upgrade to a better case for cooling
2)Upgrade to silver warranty, it's only £5

What are you using it for mainly? Games?

Good shout! I will change to a better case - almost forgot about that, Silver warranty for only £5? sounds like a good idea too!! Thanks :)

Well, i will be using it for itunes, a bit of gaming: minecraft, cod, bf maybe. Photo/video editing, and web design :) thanks.

also change to the corsair psu as they are better. Do you need the the £78 blu ray as the £65 is good as well. Also if there are specific features you require from ultimate then pick it but if not save £70. Finally 8gb ram will be more than enough for future proofing and ram is easy to upgrade. And add the cpu cooling as it will benefit it from it
