I noticed you have a separate networking card there for £21. Are you aware that the motherboard you selected has gigabit ethernet built in?

- Get the K version of that Chip for overclocking.
- Don't get a 570, get the 7950 or a 670.
- Just get Corsair RAM. That stuff is probably fine, but I wouldn't get cheap store brand anything when it comes to PC components.
- Don't bother with that sound card, if you're going to get a sound card, get a good one (100£+) otherwise onboard sound is fine.
- As someone said above, the motherboard has the ethernet port.
- Case is cheap.

Can you give me a link for the overclocked version of that chip? UK

And what did you mean by "the case is cheap" (just for clarification)

Thanks for the help

There is no 3820K. The chip you have selected will overclock just fine.

Don't get a sound card either. Unless you need it for other professional reasons or something.

He means that the case is plasticy and not as good as something like: You must login or register to view this content. or You must login or register to view this content.

Those two cases are built out of more metal, and less plastic. And come from more known manufacturers.
