  • Cool, ok. This comes in at £1407.
    RAM should be fine at 16GB. I've never had page-outs with that much and probably won't any time soon.

    Still need to get a keyboard and mouse. And windows... Ugh.
    It's a hell of a lot cheaper and faster than an iMac, even without that gorgeous screen.

  • Dunno where you are shopping but you could get a bitfenix case from amazon for £35 with all the same features as that corsair one, good quality slightly lesser known brand, decent amount of space behind the mobo tray for cables to hide and cut outs around the tray to route around.

    PSU you shouldn't need modular just tuck the cables away when you build it. Been using a corsair tx650 in my machine for years now i5 2500k, 16gb ram, radeon 7950, ssd, 4x HDDs, 5 fans. You really only need to go bigger if you have chucked in 2x GPUs or gone with a really poor quality PSU. Make sure it's single rail too, lots make the mistake of getting multiple 12v rails and then they don't balance them properly and it all goes bad(common cause of noobs needing 1500w PSUs).

    Out of the loop a bit on stuff since I quit the pc forums.
