Surge Protection what is this do I need it
How do I add thermal paste and how can I get extra fan in the case

is there an option to get the pc build quicker ?

In the bit called 'Build Time' in the configurator, there are fast build options, these are only available if all the components are in stock and the machine is not being ordered pre-overclocked (which yours isn't, but I thought I'd mention it anyway) - I think there's a 5 day option and a 3 day option.

Firstly I would go for a pre-overclocked pc form pcspecialiast as the overclock will be coverd by warranty.
Secondly Raven 3 is one of the best air cooling case available from pcspecialist, it looks better then haf932 and gpu temps should be very good in this case even with just the stock cooling.
Thirdly I've changed 3rd hard drive to a caviar green, as you get twice the storage for less, and its quieter and consumes less power.
Lastly I've changed the water cooler to Titan fenrir as it actually performs slightly better, and there is no risk of spillage.

Probably means not everything is in stock then (unless you went for bg92's suggestion of getting PCS to overclock it), if it is just stuff being out of stock, then after a couple of days the fast track options may appear when stock comes in.

 

[faihaf]

mmm i guess nobody got anything to add which mean this system is perfect

Personally I would get it pre-overclocked as it is covered by warranty and it answers another of your questions; when you get it pre overclocked under the option on the left hand side of the site, you get thermal paste already applied, no extra cost for that or the overclocking
