wow, thats a NICE bit of kit, Gratz on your new purchase



One thing that does worry me though, you posted this at 2:29am, now i sure hope ya didnt buy all that whilst drunken net shopping on yer credit card, or yer gunna have a sore head this morning

Yeah I did,......... was going to do it anyway, and online purchases are always better on a crredit card so all's good!

Nice setup SK only thing id query is the OS windoze 7

still you can always upgrade to windoze 10 when its out. If you have a spare pc you could always try the preview http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/wind ... w-download.

Nice build.

Personally I'd go for two SSDs @250GB a piece then config a RAID 0 giving me better price and increasing data throughput by roughly 80%

Also the build doesn't need the RAM to be clocked so high as it's not a unified architecture (think AMDs APUs here for an example) here the
latency of the RAM is more important than the overall clock e.g 1600MHz with CL of 6 will perform better than 2000MHz with a CL of 9, you
won't be limiting your bandwidth going for slower RAM with a better CL value (even my laptop with 1600MHz DDR3 has a throughput of over 13000MBps)


Extra tech info:
1600MHz with a CL of 6 will take 0.0038 seconds to respond
2000Mhz with a CL of 9 will take 0.0045 seconds to respond

Don't hesitate to hit me up with any queries dude.

Also... I hate to admit it because I hate the interface; but Windows 8 does perform significantly better than Windows 7.

I cant stand the interface, enough to pass on it!

That is a nice rig mate. I've had my PC for a few months now and im still in love with it and the speed of it still scares the s**t out of me haha.

The interface is changing in widows 10. they are bringing back the start menu

omg! thats some nice specs you bought yourself there Jason!
Grats... can i ask what the price of this beautymonster is... ?
