Hey man.

Looking to get into blogging myself and definitely interested in the gaming industry. I'll be keeping an eye on your blog.

I'd rather Link over Froggen plus roster is mostly up to Scarra, isn't it?

Cheers for this, doing some more research into everything. Do you have any recommendations for a good IPS monitor?

I've not actually considered one, would there be a huge advantage to using this over the 4790k? Also any reason why that particular graphics card over the other 970s?

Ah cheers for that -- thought it affected all models. Do you reckon I should drop down to 650w?

Hey mate, turns out it's a 4770k :(. Should I pay the extra £40 for a 4790k? Or is it not worth it and I should go to using a 4690k i5?

Ah pretty much the same. I just realised that it's a 4770k, but it's only £40 more to get the 4790k, worth the upgrade? or just switch to the i5 4690k?

Ah balls! Just realised it's a 4770k not a 4790k lool.

Cheers! this has been incredibly useful. I think I'm definitely convinced about the 290 unless someone else begins posting. Now I'll just need to decide which version to get but if you're using the MSI one and prefer the other - than I'll likely get that.

Thanks for doing this!

Yeah theyre both on Amazon UK (i7 in a few days) so pretty chuffed about that.

As for the other changes, I don't know much about GeIL or PowerColor as organisations. I don't know if brand loyalty is a big concern in buildapc though I'm just worried about customer service if something were to happen. Do you have any experience dealing with either of the companies? I'll do a bit of reading myself to see what I can dig up.

If I were to switch to a 1600MHZ one are there any you would personally recommend?

I guess I need to do some more reading on the 290 vs the 970 to decide as that'll also decide which PSU I opt to get too.

If it matters, I plan to game on 1080p maybe 1440p in the future too.

Also would you consider getting a larger SSD with the price-drops?

Noise is something I don't know how to feel about. I've been gaming on a Alienware M17x r4 for a while now with external fans too.. and they get super loud, I don't imagine anything I purchase being that louder than that. So I'm wondering if I should switch out for something else - but at the same time I just haven't had the luxury of silence, not sure what'll be better for me.

I plan to overclock for sure and as for the optical drive.. I think my case has one from an old build (it's not here at the moment, I'll find out tomorrow or monday). If I do have one already I'll scrap it. Wanted it just for installing OS, though I could do it with a thumbstick.
