What do you think to this build?

[spat55]

So this is for gaming only really, my first build, wondering if anyone could pick me a DVD Drive, check for compatablity, and offer a cost cut if i could. I'll give best answer if you tell me how to do it :lol:

EDIT: Has anyone ever used a seagate HDD? It's just their really cheap and it could save me money and get me a bigger drive, thing is i need it to not break in a years time...

I generally use Lite On, LG, and Plextor for DVD drives and don't touch anything else.

I don't see a case listed, what case are you going with? I'd recommend an HAF 912 or Corsair Carbide 300R to go with that build.

Other than that there's nothing I would change - all looks good to me!

Havent decided yet, just added it in, might get a casecom, have high reviews and only £25, need to save as have gone over the £700 limit, but if im gonna do this, might as well get it right, right?

Well, to save money, you could go away from OCing.

OR

You could get a cheaper mobo. Like the Gigabyte Z77-D3H or the Asrock Pro4. You won't really lose a ton other than an additional PCI-3.0 slot.

Anything else and you will be sacrificing performance.

Think I'll stick with mine but depending on what reviews the asrock has it might be a buy...

Your build is fine, I wasn't criticizing. You just asked where to save some money. 😉

The mobo is one place you can without sacrificing performance.

Yeah exactly - I'd rather get it right the first time than have something go wrong or you get some junk parts you don't need.

Yeah, i know you weren't critcizing, i know it is the only place i could save without losing performance, gonna get a cheap case and DVD drive.

The Cooler Master will have no trouble, the first case looks pretty similar to the Rosewill Challenger but if you get that one be sure to check the interior dimensions before buying.

Yeah I used the Elite 430 in a friend's build - that should work fine.
