Hi guys 

 

Basically I'm thinking about building a Pc and I'm taking my time when choosing parts just have a few questions that some of you might be able to answer:

 

 

 

Part picker link:http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/Rating/saved/PxB48d

 

  • How long will this last a average user?
  • What other cooling options is there that are quite and look good and might save me some money(not planning on overclocking atm but might later on?
  • What graphics card would you add to the build?(not adding one yet but probably will when I have more money in budget up to £250)
  • Should I change the ram to Corsair Vengence pro for the looks or does the ram I have in the build atm look good.(cannot see much in picture)
  • Good red led strips for the Nzxth4440?

Sorry if some of the questions sound stupid just want to make sure I'm getting everything right.

 

Thanks Sam :)
