Thanks guys! It's always good to build with a modular PSU :P It is so easy to do a good job at cable management with the AX 760. I hope I'll be building more in the future! Oh and he was so excited haha lol, It works flawlessly.

potatochobit, I just finished a word processing and general internet surfing PC for my grandmother. Despite all my objections, she insisted upon having Win8 on it. That was the first time I have ever used a copy of Win8 and it was a nightmare setting it up. They changed so much about it.

That is pretty much what I'd build if buying an all knew spec'd computer right now, excellent everything haha

haha, yea, except I wouldn't have gone with the Level 10 GT...I really wanted him to get the Trooper but nooooooooooo...lol. Solid Rig, loads windows in literally seconds :O Gotta get myself a Samsung 840 pro...

 

you built a nice computer and actually CHOSE windows 8? 

 

lol.....

hahaha!!! What's wrong with windows 8? lol, I mean I left that decision to him...He wanted to go with Win 7 but his mum told him to get the latest lol. I've been using windows 8 for quite some time now (on my laptop) and to me, It's pretty good, the main reason I like it is because it is so snappy. And Thanks!

Looks clean, but could of saved some cash and got a 7950 instead.

Nah, he wanted 'the best of the best', he wanted a Titan, 7990 or 690 :/ And I was like "you don't need that much power for a 1600x900 res monitor..." lol. So the 7970GHz was the best bets, It is also future proofed...:)

Yea I do realise there are more SSDs out there lol :P but what I meant was, the 840 pro seems to be a trustworthy SSD. I want to be able to feel 'safe' about my data lol. I recently found out OCZ SSDs are pretty bad in terms of long term use...Sad.
