    All in all Good solid build.

    That said ,Not a fan of the case. Most people overlook a good case. But you need to factor in noise and good airflow. Kinda go hand in hand bad airflow will make more noise ie graphics card running hotter. Blah blah.

    If you can stretch your budget do try, list prices of your parts. maybe boards can help you shop smarter and cover additional cost of a better case.

    I built your pc just now and was nowhere near 1300? And that was including a more expensive case? I could almost fit in a 120 SSD to get to 1300? Where you buying from?

    Ahh I forgot the cooler one sec.

    Still only getting 1253

    The nanoxia deep silence 1 , or fractal design r4.
    Both very popular for builds , as they are very good for their price. Not flashy or gamer lookin no blue lights. But much better for the parts inside and keeping noise down. Depends if that is important to you.

    do you know if the NZXT phantom is a good case?

    It's a good case alright but, I don't like the look of it. Each to there own. If I was buying a case today this is what I'd go for, http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-157-CS&groupid=2362&catid=1489

    ive decided to go with the nanoxia deep silence one


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,767 ✭✭✭SterlingArcher


    Good call. There is a reason why it is nearly always sold out. And that is because it is a good all rounder. If you have any doubts at all look up any reviews on it. Hits the sweet spot every time.

    R9 280x is a better (and slightly cheaper) card, see this review, for example.
