Looks good to me M8,
If it was me I'd opt for an O/C AMD CPU?,I'd Swap the CPU cooler to a Titan Fenrir(saves £20+ and gives same cooling)i would also upgrade the PSU( Coursair TX 650-850?)I would also opt for the Antec 900 case because of it's Superior Cooling?and lastly I'd lose the Platinum Warranty and use the silver one?

Every thing else looks real good

the liquid cooling is needed as the area is unfortunatly one of the warmest in the house.
O/c cpu. there is nothing to stop me clocking this one in the future. it's a matter of cost.
the antec is a nice case but i love the massive fan on the side of this one.
i went for the platinum warranty as it gives total 3 year protection as all others only have 3 yr on labour.
but hey all coments taken on board with appretiation

 

[Phoenix]

You won't be charged any extra for asking for the processor to be overclocked but if the area where the computer will be is very warm it might not be such a good idea.

 

[Sleinous]

I like: HDD
Maybe modify: psu to a tx 750 incase u plan on adding a secon 5850 gpu later

Hello,

The only suggestion I would make would be to take the Corsair PSU, in such a high end rig, it just deserves one, and they are much better for stabilisation of the rail giving a slightly cleaner power to you components.

Also, remeber those Mailstrom cases arent in for a little while yet (we have had a delayed shipment) so although a very nice case, for order speedyness you may want to change it.

 

[rocknroll]

ok so looking at the fact that the case is delayed and there is a shortage of ati cards at the moment. this will possibly be my order.

mmmmm, nice spec

 

[PCS]

The Maelstron cases are in early this week - so no delay if you want to order this. Great spec

 

[Tom DWC]

Nice AMD build.

Just to pick up on one thing I noticed though:

2nd Hard Disk Partitions - 80GB, 920GB

After being formatted, the total usable amount of storage on a 1TB (1000GB) HDD is 931.5GB.

Therefore I would suggest partition sizes of 80GB & 850GB respectively.

Otherwise it's nice, real nice.

the parition allowance on the website only allows complete gb partiion allowance. i.e. a 1tb will only allow 1 tb not a total of 930gb.

i'll have to wait for them to come online as i want a priority build.
