The Thermaltake is the better PSU (higher temp rating 50C vs 30C, higher efficiency, modularity and is actually more powerful with 48A 12V rail vs a 40A 12V rail) and a ~£3 saving is not worth the downgrade IMO.

If you like the case then yea. I don't know what size of CPU heatsink it can fit, but plenty of other cases which are 190mm wide can fit 160mm tall heatsinks. If I was you I'd search online forums to see if people are using that case with a large tower heatsink. Otherwise it might be safer to try and find a heatink which is less than 160mm in height.

thanks for all this help oh by the way do you know any decent looking chaep usb mouse and keyboards for under £10 as all my old ones are ps/2

 

[Silvune]

No problem.
You could reuse either your mouse or keyboard as there is a PS/2 port on the Asrock Z68 Pro3. Which would mean that you'd only have to get one item.

I think I would just get something from Microsoft, as the Microsoft mouse I have atm is probably the best one I've had (also the cheapest one I've bought).
