Plans for new PC

[scottish]

https://www.vibox.co.uk/ Have a look, it's a decent site, and there decent cases are roughly 80 quid I think.

Never heard of it or anyone mention it in my life, so wouldn't trust it a bit.

I'd prefer to use a trusted site like ebuyer, overclockers, etc and i'm pretty sure they'll get better deals

'Decent case' is based on opinion. I doubt the case he wishes will be cheaper on there (by looks of it you can't buy specific parts just full system?)

Only thing I could suggest is a Coolermaster PSU, I've been running an 850W CM PSU for like the past 5 years now on the same machine?

Anything which is 80+G will keep trucking on for a long time, coolermaster are awesome on the case side but there's nothing special about them when it comes to PSUs.

Whichever PSU you get though, make sure it's modular. Accidentally got a non-modular for my current PC and doing cable management was a nightmare.

I'd steer clear of SSDs for a little while, SSD speed increases have been stagnant for some time and I reckon as we enter the new year we might see something new cope of that. Caviar Black is a rip off though, you're basically paying £30 for the difference between a 3 year and a 5 year warranty. Any old 1TB 7200RPM HDD will be fine but you may as well go Caviar Blue or Seagate Barracuda.

The case is a bit iffy, it's main feature is that it can hold a ton of hard drives yet it does seem that you're not overly bothered by that. It'd make more sense to go for a case that's geared towards cable management instead.

i have a p8z77-v LX and it's good so you should get that

and you should get a i5-3750k too or 3750 if you don't wanna overclock

Woops I forgot a cd drive but they're cheap anyway or you can install windows from usb

Why not get a Z77 board?

my bad wrong board

my bad wrong board

do you use chrome?

also for the sake of £1 (usually about £19 aint it?) i'd stick in something like Samsung DVD/RW not that it makes much difference (personal preference really, I prefer having a brand name )
