This spec is a complete gaming PC inc kb/mouse and monitor. Seems good value at £1162 all in excluding OS. Would you change anything? Without going much over that price?

The PSU is 650 to support possible second gfx card at later date...

For 2 GPUs I would suggests a better case for better cooling, triple copper heatpipe cpu cooler and a750w or 850w psu

I don't plan on over clocking the CPUA, so maybe 4690 instead.

Would I still need the triple wot sit CPU cooler?

Click to expand...

the triple copper is not for overclocking but to have something better than the standard Intel CPU cooler.

Nice. Ok, so how about this (it looks to be a slightly modified version of the SLI ready rig on home page)...

Any thoughts on the monitor?

Cheers.
