haha well yea I am confused to a point sorry,
I will would like to overclock my CPU to 4.3GHz :) But I have not clue on how to overclock but then I can deal with that when I get my pc altogether lol But the motherboard I picked out the one on scan.co.uk will that be ok?? or is that a different type of board.

That board will not work with the CPU you currently have selected. It will work with the CPU I mentioned above though.

This is the CPU that will work with the Z87 Sabertooth you asked about - Intel CPU i5-4670K 3.4GHz Socket 1150 Quad Core Haswell Retail with Heat Sink Fan - BX80646I54670K - Scan.co.uk

Ah ok well I am defo going for that CPU my mate is building his and he is going for it haha I never knew it was only a little more :) thank you mate for all the help!!! and helping me pick out the board and cpu gj thanks. I have also picked another case that is large and people say its easy to work with I have also cut out the case fans Ill just use the ones from my old PC if I cant afford them just cause the motherboard is more :)!!

You are more than welcome, be sure to get the GPU from somewhere else like I posted, it will save you some money.
I have been building PC's for a few years now and have never heard of the company all your links show. I therefore cannot say if they are good or bad, but it certainly looks like you can save some money if you shop elsewhere.

I might suggest sticking with the Ivy bridge CPU and then consider this ASRock mobo !

ASRock Fatal1ty Z77 Professional

Less money still nice;

I have used Scan many many times over the years, they are a reputable and well respected company. I have never had a single issue with them.

Quick question if you know but how the hell do I work the


Corsair H100i
Corsair H100i

I mean does that go at the top of my case as an intake fan or does it drive air out?

And thanks mate.

That is a good point. Have you changed your mind on the case since your original post? And if so to what?

Looking at the case in your original post it has a massive fan in the roof, I had similar in my old Antec 1100 case, and sadly it had no mounting points for 120 or 140mm fans so there was no way to fit a watercooler at the top. I can't find the specs for that case but you might want to check it, if it doesn't allow for 2x120mm fans in the roof then you are really going to struggle to fit the H100i in that case.
