P.s. I know the keyboard is lame but just wanted one with soft keys and i'm gettin a razer nostromo as well so keyboard isn't an issue

Looks like a beast of a build to me! I'm very jealous

The only thing that really sticks out for me is the 128GB Vertex 3.

Personally I would try to make the jump to a 256GB and go for a Samsung 830.

I would be interested in looking into a unlocked CPU, i think that's noted by a K at the end of the product number.

If your spending that much on a system and also getting a hydro cooler, then it would be best to have the overclocking potential.

I haven't built a system for quite a while but i don't really think an 2011 socket is really needed, but macca or someone might have an idea.

Anyway, check this out;

The only thing i would question from there is the HDMI cables, 3 of them? And also DVI is better

oh and im not entirely sure the motherboard on my cart would fit in that case :/

Really like your spec Phantom, I'm currently pricing up an upgrade to my own rig and a couple of the parts I'm going for are on your list. Not sure if you priced it all up at scan purely to make the spec easy for everyone to see, but I managed to get the price of my 4 components (Mobo, CPU, RAM, Gfx Card) down from £832 to £743 by finding the cheapest supplier for each part rather than going all parts from one supplier. Annoyingly that means I'm going to have to buy from 4 different companies but as most have free delivery now it doesn't matter a massive amount.

Sorry if that's what you were planning on doing anyway, just thought it worth mentioning

Hi Shafto. I'm gettin them all on scan just so I can get finance. The only way I can afford it lol

 

[shafto]

Ahhh right That's how I bought my last rig, but this time around I was lucky enough to get a tax rebate. The missus said "put that towards the mortgage deposit!" I said "LOL."

I agree with Robin go for the 256GB samsung 830 SSD, a lot of people are saying this is the bees knees on forums
