Striked out ones are things I can't afford to have along with the others (£180 Budget)
If anybody wants to make any suggestions what I should go cheaper/more expensive on, What I should dunk
I currently have 250gb 7200 6mb maxtor hdd and I'm not sticking with that piece of shit any longer >_>
So the seagate stays unless somebody can find something better and cheaper
The fans - Case only comes with 1 blue LED fan, So I have to do with having more of the same fan and making airflow optimal ofc ;)
XFX Radeon 5550 1gb - I can't afford any higher and I want DX11 so yeah....
Thermaltake V3 is a very good case, I'm not really looking for something flashy just something that will keep components cool, Have good airflow and is big enough
PSU - Originally was going to get Corsair 400w, But the lowest wattage for the GPU is 400w alsso it was £30 so I had to go with 450w Novatech PSU (£15)
Coolermaster Hyper TX3 had some good reviews and is fairly cheap, Doesn't require and backplate(Not that I care anyway I have to take the mobo out xD)
And that's my view on everything, Post your opinions now pl0x :cake:
Derp:

That was totally worth the 4 hours taking my old case apart
I still havn't fitted the heatsink yet lol
I had trouble trying to get my hdd out of the old case, I'm so stupid I spent 2 hours trying to wedge it out then my dad comes and slides it up and out >_>
Oh well everything is working fine now except from one major stupidity of mine, The psu LOL
Cables don't reach
Dedicated +12v rail doesnt reach the slot :x
I have to have it out and demetedly hanging there
I've already ordered a Corsair 400w so no worries
GPU runs MW2 at max on 1080p reso no lag at all :D
AvP Runs MIGHTY FINEE on DX11 & Max :O :D
Stupidly CCC left my clocks from my 4350 so I had to go and re-install CCC

That will keep me sorted for a year or two :)
Ofcourse I will get some 4GB G.Skill sticks whenever I get the money :P
the DDR2/DDR3 motherboard is ftw :D
I'll use 2 of my stick right now(3gb) then I'll enventualy get 4gb DDr3 sticks then get 8gb
Don't start cursing me because I have an nvidia now; It's got awesome benchmarks and £30 less than 5770 with the same performance, sometimes more + phys-x & cuda
