hi, i've chosen all my parts on my system but i've had a problem with my motherboard of choice ( the P8Z77 V PRO) which has gone up to over £200 on Amazon which is way over my limit on my motherboard. ive searched around an it doesn't appear to be sold in many other places. I have seen it on newegg and its $164 (i think) but i don't think newegg delivers to the UK. my question is there anywhere in the UK that sells the P8Z77 V PRO are the LX or the LK any good compared to the V PRO.

My build consists of;
Case- corssair 650d
CPU - Intel 3rd gen core i5 3570k
Mobo - p8z77 v pro
Heat sink - cool master hyper 212 EVO
PSU - Corsair Gold 650W ATX/EPS Fully Modular
Ram corsair vengeance 8gb ddr3
Graphics card- asus nvidia GeForce 770 4gb
Hdd seagate 1 tb 7200 rpm
Ssd Sandisk Ultra Plus
Blue ray disk drive (undecided)
Is windows 7 home premium 64 bit

YouTube is an amazing resource that I think not enough people make use of. As for the wifi card, it's as simple as plugging it into the slot, just as you would with a graphics card :) To put your mind at rest your graphics card will fit into the Corsair case just fine. There will be at least 2 inches clearance at the end of the card, and the 650D has a removable...
LMAO, one thing at a time my friend :)

First up, with the monitors I find it better to go for matching screens just in case at some point you want to do eyefinity gaming across both of them, but if you really don't intend on doing that then go for the 27" and the 24" :) As for the motherboard, yes it has onboard audio as most motherboards do, and no it does not have built in wifi. I'll see if I can find one that does if it is important :)

EDIT: And yes you can overclock on the Extreme 6 :)
 


aha sorry just abit worried as its my first build i know how to do it but im not a know it all about differant hardware still learning. :) nah i wont be doing that but i think it would be better for two 24" cause ill be sat quite close to the screen. Can i get a expansion card for the WIFI i do like the Extreme 6 if i do go SLI in the future will i be able to still fit the wifi card

 



No worries man, I remember being nervous with my first build, but nervous is good as it should stop you rushing in and making mistakes :) Measure twice cut once as they say. Now when it comes to the motherboard and the wireless thing, you can get yourself one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-Link-TL-WN881ND-300Mbps-Wireless-Express/dp/B006BSPTAQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1394359476&sr=1-1&keywords=TP-LINK+TL-WN881ND which goes in the very top PCI slot (the little one) on the Extreme6 so it won't interfere if and when you decide to go SLI.
 



thats true theres allways youtube if i get stuck aha. :) its installed the same way you put a graphics card in isnt it? another quick question, will this GPU fit in my case and my motherboard its massive, ive checked the dimentions i think it will just want to double check.
Edit: sorry forgot the link

i couldnt agree more its helped with alot of problems aha. sounds good is it compatable with a BT router. thats good news dont wanna be messing about looking for another case aha i might remove it anyway as it has two hard drive cages doesnt it? and replace it with a 120mm fan unless theres another there i have reserched the case but know nothing about the fans lmao
