The prices are with and without VAT cause i can probably buy these components through my dads business and avoid VAT altogether
Mobo
Asrock p67 Extreme6 - £133.32 (£159.98)
Looked at alternatives, but for the price, it seemed like the best value
CPU
Intel Core i7 2600k - £197.17 (£236.60)
Wondering if i should pay £30 less, and get it without stock cooling, and buy my own. (i have no idea what i would replace it with, so suggestions would be awesome.)
RAM
Corsair xms3 6GB - £44.99 (£53.99)
This also looking at similar dual channel 4/8 GB Just seemed like this was in between, and had gd reviews.
HDD
Seagate SV35.5 1TB - £42.98 (£51.58)
Don't really know what to get in terms of HDD. Looking for 1-2 TB at 7200 RPM at a similar price. If there are cheaper/more reliable options i would welcome them.
Power Supply
Corsair 750w - £70.75 (£84.90)
Optical Drive
Pioneer DVR - £14.98 (£17.98)
Uhhh no idea why i chose this.... if im stupid or if there are better options let me know. labelling the disc isn't that much of a deal.
Case
Corsair Obsidian Series 650D - £112.49 (£134.99)
This case is so damn sexy!
OR
Corsair Obsidian Series 700D
But i think its too large, and more expensive too.
Keyboard
Microsoft Sidewinder X4 - £34.29
Either this or the wired illuminated keyboard I prefer the look and comfortability rather than lots of extra buttons or settings tbh
Mouse and Cooling still undecided
Monitor should be 24" still undecided
Graphics Card still undecided between the NVidia GeForce 480/580/AMD HD 6950
However the current total is at £650.97 (£774.31)
so, yeah. Im hopin this is all under £1000 but if its worth splurging, its worth splurging. All components are up for debate, i don't know very much about this sorta stuff, but i did do my homework.
