Spoiler: old upgrades (click to show/hide)I'm updating my rig guys

ThermalTake V3 Black Edition

3x Akasa Blue LED fans for the Case

Corsair 400w PSU for the Case

CoolerMaster TX3 CPU Cooler and Cleaner(Cooler comes with paste)
http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?CM-HTX3
http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?ARC-CLEAN
Novatech 450w PSU
http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?NOV-PSU450
SATA cable for HDD
http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?CAB-SATA90
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB 16MB Cache Hard Drive SATA II 300MB/s 11ms 7200rpm - OEM
http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?SG-712S500
PWM splitter(My mobo only has 2 slots, 1 CPU, 1 EXHAUST, So I gotta split the EXHAUST)
http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?AKA-CB002
3x 120mm Akasa PWM fan for case
http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?AKA-FN053
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
Core - 700MHz
Memory - 850MHz
1GB GDDR2

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
