| @Cool, I have never used an SSD. I won't be able to tell the difference. That and a 240gb for £10 more than a 120gb? Not bad. |

| I personally think the price/performance for this buildis very good. If you wanted to do still do the same stuff at a cheaper price, you get a 290x. |

You will need a different cooling solution to reach 4.6, however. |

| @Eh, poni. I think the be quiet heat sink should do fine. If not, I'll use water cooling. |

@Poni, no. I get a free heat sink with my motherboard which is made by be quiet.
It looks like the cooler master one but the fan looks better. |
