get super flower amazon 450w psu, its a bit better and should be cheaper.

try to get i3 2120 cpu, it will be a few quid more expensive, but 100mhz more, well worth it for low budget system.

6870 is a bit expensive too. you can get it for 150 pretty much anywhere now.

+1 on that, you can pick up the 6870 for €143 on the site, it's basically the same as the one you have already.

Thanks , where would you suggest I buy from?

ShadowHearth

Where did you got all this priced in the first place?

You can use our hardwareversand if you can use bank transfer or you can go dabs.ie. they have that good deal where of you got over 399eu you get 25 back. If over 599eu, then you get 40eu back. Free delivery too.

It's mixed opinions about dabs.ie here. I personally wount use them as their lack of communications is putting me off. I personnally use scan.co.uk, but those might be a bit expensive, but amazing delivery service. Then komplett is good too, though Dunn. If you get all parts there.

If your getting the build all in one go, I'd use hardwareversand.

Well you need to do a bank transfer with those people. They don't believe in PayPal or CC. It's devils tools!!!
600 looks well and tidy.

Interesting how much would be same spec in dabs.ie with their offer?

You should also consider which place has a good return policy too. That's why I went with Komplett. Two years if anything goes wrong they'll take it back plus there in Dublin. Hardwareversand are suppose to be good too, but I've heard it's not so good with Dabs.ie

daz801

not sure how much but i think 3%.
I would never order from komplett again. ordered 2500k, ram and my mobo of them. When i ordered it said the cpu would be back in stock in 5 days. So 5 days come and go so i head back to komplett and see that it's now out of stock for the next month:eek: I email them and get nothing back for 2 days. I try contacting their customer support on boards and got a reply saying that the website was a mistake and they'd be getting some instock the next week. The next day i finally get an email back and am told that yes it would be a month. So over the next few days i am in contact with both their email and boards.ie customer support, one telling me a week until stock came in, the other saying a month. Until 3 days later when they finally both confirm it will be a month. So ended up canceling the cpu from my order. On the bright side i did then receive my ram and mobo 2 days later. But still it took about 2 weeks from when i ordered to sort out.

tldr: terrible customer support, don't use them unless the parts you want are certain to be in stock.

Rant over

Well, I'v found them it to be very good.

I ordered the wrong item from them last year and got on to there customer support here on the boards and they had it sorted right away. You can be waiting weeks too if items are out of stock from the other places as well. They don't control their suppliers.

yeah i don't mind waiting it was more about their customer support, one source saying a week and the other a month and then stringing me along with that for a few days

Dunno what's been mentioned here so far, so apologies if I'm repeating stuff, but:

Do you need the 500GB of space? You could look at a 64GB SSD as a boot drive and expand later.
I wouldn't get that keyboard/mouse combo. It'll be German layout. Better off grabbing something of Amazon or some-such instead.
(And this is more for the rest of the lads) is the 6870 still a good card to go for? 7850 instead or something? Looks good.

I would need 500GB of space for gaming right? i intend on using steam and mainly downloads as opposed to discs
