You reckon that 128gb SSD is enough storage, or perhaps add one of these http://www1.hardwareversand.de/7200+RPM/53882/Seagate+Barracuda+7200+1000GB%2C+SATA+6Gb+s.article for storing other stuff?

The H100 controls two fans, though I find it craps out at times, with fans running 100% and not ramping down, then having to reset unit=pain in hole.
Better off plug both fans into the mobo and leaving the pump at its 2nd setting to do its thing, works way better.

If you're serious about xfire, go with a 750w min, and check a few reviews re. cooling in SLI as some aftermarket coolers like he phantom dump air into the case, not ideal when both GPU's are close. Reference designs are much better as all air is exhausted through the backplate. EVGA & Zotac do factory overclocked cards that dump air out the back plate as well.

Nice build, and good luck with it.

650W would be fine, but if you OC the CPU and/or both GPU's you won't be long running out of juice:)

BTW deadly case, great cable management.

The TX750 isn't as cheap as some alternatives but is one of the best 750W PSUs around. It's also modular. A lot of the competition is cheaper, but this PSU will last and allow huge upgrade potential.
A review from bit-tech: http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/psus/2008/02/19/corsair_tx750w_psu_cmpsu-750tx/6
I'm definitely considering it for my build which is very similar to yours(ordering once Ulster Bank manages to sort themselves out...).

Are you looking for a modular or a non-modular PSU?

Yeah my build is near enough working out the exact same as yours now, I think I'll take the easy way out and just copy you

Just two things,

is the 600t worth the extra 30 quid?
Is the Asus GTX 670 DirectCU II Top worth the extra 40 quid?

You can add as many of the items to the cart as you want. Make sure that you click buy on the today page itself. There's sometimes limitations like 1 or 2 hard drives of a particular model but it will say above the section.

Worth noting on today's today only page:
Samsung 830 £75.59/€94.28
750W Antec True power new modular hybrid £64.79/€80.83

Incidentally, in case you didn't know, the 750W Antec TPN and the XFX 750W are near identical PSUs, with the Antec having a bit more of an edge with the semi-modularity and apparently a few extra good tweaks as well. Both PSUs are built by Seasonic (and probably the same core internals).

To make sure she can claim the Vat back, the invoice should be in her business name and address . Best thing to do is give her the cash minus the Vat, and ask her to pay for it using a company card/account to be sure. Used to get my old man to do same.:)

It is only deducted at source-if you don't have a Vat number, but if they can claim it back they will be giving the 23% back to you anyway?

Once you are Vat registered and you buy from any Vat registered EU company, you should not have to pay Vat. Best ring them before putting on your order to confirm (Just checked with my mate who is an accountant & his company deal with French/Dutch companies).


Edit:

Give a look here;


I am a VAT registered person. Can I buy goods VAT free from a business in another Member State of the E.U.?

Yes, once the goods are purchased for the purposes of your business. The purchase of goods from a person in another E.U. Member State is called, in VAT terminology, an 'intra-Community acquisition' of the goods. The sale of goods to a VAT registered person in another Member State is called an 'intra-Community supply'. The procedures to be followed are set out below:

You must quote your VAT number to the supplier. The supply will then be zero-rated in the Member State of dispatch as an E.U. intra-Community supply.
You (the taxable customer) become liable for VAT on the acquisition of the goods in this State. You must account for VAT on the goods at the rate that would apply to the supply of those goods in Ireland.
To do this, you declare a liability for VAT in your VAT3 return form in the T1 box.
If you are entitled to full deductibility (input credit), the VAT payable on the intra-Community acquisition is deducted in the same VAT period at T2 on the VAT3, thus effectively cancelling out the VAT liability. If you are not entitled to deductibility (e.g. flat-rate farmer, State body) you put a zero in the T2 box. If you are entitled to partial deductibility, and the good represents a 'dual-use input', you may claim the appropriate percentage of the VAT, as agreed with the local Revenue District.
You must also account for VAT on any subsequent supply of the goods in the appropriate VAT return.
In addition to the accounting requirements above, the VAT 3 return requires the taxable person to declare summary VAT details. It includes a statistical box in respect of intra-Community Acquisitions that must be completed (E2).

Further information is available in the information leaflets on the subjects of E.U. Intra-Community Acquisitions and E.U. Intra-Community Supplies on the Revenue website.

Just make sure its in her company name & quote the Vat no. and you will be fine.
