Your parts look fine, we always advise you to get the best you can afford, and don`t rush into anything.

I buy most my parts off of amazon, idk what's the problem. Everything i've bought from there works great. Also if you live in say California you don't have to pay tax like you would with newegg which is my situation. For you though it doesn't really matter where you buy from since you live outside the states.

Like anywhere else, I am sure some people have a bad experience with some sites. If AddRAm advises against amazon I am sure they gave him very poor support. If I had bad support I would advise against them too.

I'm sure Amazon, Newegg, Tigerdirect and every other place has made a mistake sometime or another. One thing I know about Amazon is they have excellent shipping methods! Now, back to the topic.
What are you going to be using this computer for? I ask because you may be able to save money on RAM by going with a good 8GB kit instead of 16GB. 90% of users won't use 8GB, much less 16 and since you are on a budget, it makes sense to put that money into another area. I'm not familiar with that particular water cooler, but maybe someone else is. The HDD you listed is the old model and you can about $15 more and get double the capacity. The Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 2TB drive can be found for $80-85 on sale and it is a fantastic drive. Also, do you have any plans for an SSD? |
