  1. No idea why I kept the K for this build, a friend suggested getting K but I have no intention of overclocking as this is my first build and I would like to get some experience will building a working PC before overclocking. Will change to the i5-3570. The case comes will 2x 120mm fans which I was going to put in the front and back of the case, there is also space at the top to mount some more fans. No sure if that is enough ventilation, if not then I'll get more fans.
  2. I understanding getting a SSD for the boot system, and a couple of games and applications. However I wanted to keep this build under £1000, just using a 1TB HDD will keep the build under £1000 and give me all the space I want for games and a little bit of editing. Out of preference, for a mini ITX build, I picked the motherboard I did. Why would you use a slower GPU?
  3. I will stick with the 600W PSU I'd prefer to be on the safe side with this build then.
  4. Haha, I was just planing on using the stock CPU cooler that comes with the Intel CPU. If you don't think that will keep cool enough I'm open for suggestions.
  5. I'm building a gaming PC for the first time and had a few questions about my build. Note I've picked the motherboard because it has integrated WI-FI which I need. My build: CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77N-WIFI Mini ITX LGA1155 Motherboard RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory Storage: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive Graphics card: MSI GeForce GTX 770 2GB Video Card Case: BitFenix Prodigy (Black) Mini ITX Tower Case PSU: Corsair CX 600W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V Power Supply OS: Windows 7 Cooling: 2 x 120mm fans (inculded in case) and stock CPU cooler (from Intel) Extra Cables: Molex to 3x 3pin Could I use a 500W or 550W power supply instead of the 600W? Any tip and suggestions? Any recommendations for a set of headphones (with a Mic) and a mouse that are under £50?
