What do you guys think? is it good build for the Money? :luke:

My CPU is actually already liquid cooled and it is a prebuilt PC :p

Okay, this is around £15 over budget but is a huge improvement over the current build.

Shipping is £10.99 flat, no matter how much you order it won't increase, and it will work out cheaper to buy it all from the same place.

@Above, I wouldn't trust any water cooling kit in a pre-built machine.

That PSU will never last. Don't kid yourself with those parts and that kind of PSU. That build will need at least a decent 500W PSU to ensure every part gets enough power. Also skimping out on PSU's will shorten the life of those components as well.

Not worth it, spend the extra money on a better PSU. You will be sorry in the long run.

There's a 550W version: You must login or register to view this content.

Everything else looks good.

okay, how about this?
its a little over my budget but do you guys think its any better?

(i know its not the best case but is everything else okay?)

450w is plenty for that build.
I know people who have similar builds.

@Above, no its not better. You're lowering CPU power, halfing your RAM, and I don't trust Gigabyte for motherboards.

well i dont trust asRock...

Fine, get a Gigabyte board then but with the Z68 model ASRock were the leaders, with the fewest problems compared to every other brand.
I love Gigabyte as a company, they make great graphic cards and other components, they just aren't the best for motherboards, lots of problems.

well do you think asus would be a decent choice?

ASUS are fine too, again a few problems but nothing major.
ASRock are a branch of ASUS.

Basically all the brands of motherboards are fine, they do work most the time for people, but with some companies, a higher number of people get faulty boards compared to other companies.
Gigabyte being one of those companies, its a luck of the draw really.
If you like Gigabyte go for it, the odds are you'll be fine, but why take the risk?
