  1. It'd be great to get the keyboard so I finally replace my old razer keyboard
  2. 8x I believe, and having just checked the slot the metal stops half way through the slot
  3. Recently built my first PC, parts listed below. Didn't have a wi-fi adapter at first, but after issues with my university's internet I've bought one. This comes to the graphics card question, I'm unsure whether to mount the cards as shown, with the graphics card in slot 1, the preferred slot, but essentially block off half of one of the fans, or move it to slot 2 and move the wi-fi card to the first PCI-E slot. Any suggestions? Can attach more images or information if needed. Haven't done temperature tests but let me know if you recommend testing anything or if there's a flat out best configuration for this.

  4. No I just need the most 'power' I can get in the £160-£180 price range. http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/powercolor-video-card-axr93804gbd5ppdhe I was originally planning on this until a friend told me to swap, more like it?
  5. Yeah I have a new 1TB already should have mentioned it
  6. Hi, so I'm completely new to building computers etc and have around £650 (I'm in the UK) to build a pc for light-medium gaming (Skyrim, league of legends, Civ V). Honestly just want suggestions and opinions on my build so far and any general advice you have. I'm a fan of the case due to the noise reduction and airflow, I don't fancy overclocking so I went for the i5-6500. Think it's worth it? I know AMD is cheaper and 'better' for budget builds but I'd like to be able to upgrade through the Intel path honestly.
