Appreciate the input Chronos.

I like the Chillbalst one too but to get the GTX 670 will add £100 to overall cost. I've discounted the Novatech one because my last Novatech build didn't come with a Win 7 Disk and their warranty (pricey for a decent C&R) is as good as the others.

What do you not like about the Cyberpower one? I like the idea of one very good HD doing all the work as opposed to two seperate ones and having to move stuff back n forth.

How noisy, with my additions, would the Chillblast one be iyo? My current PC can be quite the Dragon late at night when I'm trying to watch a movie on my TV at a level that doen't wake my two kids.

Thanks again.

Thx again Chronos.

I've been messing around with the Chillblast Fusion Vantage again and come up with the following...

Case: Corsair Carbide 400R Midi Tower Case Processor: Intel Core i5 3570K Overclocked to 4.0GHz CPU Cooler: Akasa Venom Voodoo Ultra Quiet CPU Cooler Thermal Paste: Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Paste Case Cooling Upgrades: Quiet Cooling Fans Upgrade Pack Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-V LX Motherboard Memory: 16GB Corsair PC3-12800 1600MHz DDR3 Memory (2 x 8GB sticks) Graphics Card: Chillblast AMD Radeon HD 7950 3072MB Graphics Card Solid State Drive: 120GB Samsung 840 Series Solid State Drive 1st Hard Drive: 1000GB 7200RPM Hard Disk - 6Gbps Power Supply: BeQuiet Pure Power 530W PSU Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit

Total: £1027.56

Seems a better set up than the previous one for a mere £30 more. Am I missing something?

Would taking the option of overclocking the CPU up to 4.6 GHz (no extra charge) make the system noisier? Will it reduce the longevity of the CPU?

Afternoon Chronos.

That's really cleared things up regarding the overclocking, TY. I'm just about ready to take a shot on the above Chillblast build (one last look around just to be sure :) and I'm toiling over a couple of customization issues...

Would this case Fractal R4 be a better option than the Corsair 400R with the quiet cooling fans upgrade in regards to overall sound levels?

CPU Cooler - Akasa Venom Voodoo or Be Quiet! Dark Rock 2?

If I could add another £50 pounds to the budget should I upgrade to the Asus P8Z77-V from the LX version or swap the Radeon HD 7950 for a GTX 660 Ti?

I'm sorry if I'm asking too many questions Chronos and wasting too much of your time. Been saving up for a while and want to make sure I get it as right as possible.

Thanks.

Sound advice again Chronos.

The only liquid cooling option in the customization is this one http://www.chillblast.com/Corsair-Hydro-Series-H55-Liquid-Cooler.html. Looking at reviews, most seem to back you up on the sound difference, with a few scare stories of leaking pipes and ruined PC's.

Taking your advice on board I have come down to this...

Chillblast Fusion Vantage Fractal Design Define R4 Low Noise Case - Black Pearl
Intel Core i5 3570K Processor Overclocked to up to 4.0GHz
Corsair Hydro Series H55 Liquid Cooler
Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Paste
Asus P8Z77-V LX Motherboard
16GB Corsair PC3-12800 1600MHz DDR3 Memory (2 x 8GB sticks)
Chillblast AMD Radeon HD 7950 3072MB Graphics Card
120GB Samsung 840 Series Solid State Drive
1000GB 7200RPM Hard Disk - 6Gbps
24x SATA DVD-RW Drive
Corsair Ultra Low Noise 600W PSU
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit

Total Cost: £1027.57
+ £25 Del (Considering they give a free 2 year R&C Warranty, it's ok :)

So, I'm assuming this system will be ok for a couple of years before I have to do any serious upgrades?

I'm almost there, I'm just toying with the idea of adding this monitor 24" Asus VS247H. Not a brilliant monitor but better than what I have (Digimate 24" with temperamental on/off button) taking it off the customization is worth an £85 saving but it's currently retailing at £151.99 so, it's a bit of a bargain. Of course, if I get the monitor I will have to delay buying the nice gaming mouse and keyboard I was going to get.

Decisions, decisions.
