Hey Duders, was thinking of buying a custom built PC or perhaps building myself.

First of all how does this look with a Hd7970 that i already own

I use Overclockers UK.

Scan.co.uk is the cheapest place. Sometimes £10-15+ less than the competition. They also do "Today Only" deals with significant savings.

That machine is great though, you could save a fiver and get 8150 and overclock it, that's what most people do but price difference isn't much.

Not sure how much the Kingston SSD is but personally I'd go for the Samsung 840 EVO, the write speed is lower but it handles incompressible data and random read/writes far better than the Kingston so in real world even though its slower on paper it would be faster in general tasks.

I'd suggest a mixture of Scan and Amazon for parts. If you can be bothered, if you post 20-25 times on the "Hexus" forums, you can then link the account to one on Scan and get free next day delivery forever (or at least, going by my account, for more than a year)

I used ebuyer about 2 years ago and I was happy with them. They seemed about as cheap as I could find for most stuff, and I used amazon for the rest. Things might have changed though.

Amazon and Dabs.com are what I used for parts, great service from both.

I have the same motherboard, it was really cheap but does the job; it might be worth spending more if you want to overclock or anything like that. It doesn't have USB3 headers so the USB3 ports on the front of your case will be effectively USB2. The board has 2 USB3 ports on the back though.

good build... there are several places to go for the UK.... I'll list the absolute best ones I would suggest you go....

ScanPC

Dabs.com

Ebuyer

cclonline

either one of those sites will suit your needs, personally I think scan.co.uk is the best one though. For a pre-built custom machine the only place I would ever go in the UK would be http://www.cyberpowerpc.co.uk
