Just don't know if the extras I get with the V are with that 15 quid.

It has wifi, more i/o ports and extra 'stuff '

I was told thermaltake is 'low quality' on TSF.

Thermaltake makes some of the best PC products, including PSU's and cases. Whomever you have been speaking to is clearly misinformed or is sharing personal biased opinion.

I agree, I've had nothing but pleasure with Thermaltake.
 
haha your computer is a hell of a lot better than mine xD

Severely lacking funds :P currently I've got an old Dell (hate dell) with Windows XP Pro SP3, Intel Celeron CPU 1.80GHz, 1.2GB RAM, basic graphics controller and only like, 130GB Harddrive lol
 
If I was willing to splurge a bit on a case, I would've ended up buying the TT Level 10 GT in all white. I just couldn't justify nearly $300 on a case (after taxes).

I was thinking of the Corsair TX750...Is that better than the thermaltake.

Corsair seems to be the head honcho in the PSU world. I have the HX750, but it's modular. Modular just = better for aesthetics. I would recommend the HX or AX models.
 
Aesthetics? Locked inside a big box?

The Hx and Ax are at least 10 pounds more.... Why do you recommend them over the tx?

10 doesn't sound like much, but that could go towards a new disk drive or case etc...

Oh no, it's much, MUCH better for air flow. Especially for those of us who like to push our systems without water cooling.
 
Well... You made it sound better.

By pushing my system, I would mabye consider ocing in the future so....

These any good? I was told thermaltake were low quality by Tyree on tech support forum (TSF)

Edit : found out what modular is. Sounds pretty good. Any disadvantages?

Found this semi modular Corsair CP-9020003-UK Enthusiast Series TX750M 750 Watt Power Supply

And then which motherboard should I get?
Asus P8Z77 V
Or
Asus P8Z77 V LX.

Like, the latter is 40 quid cheaper, but would i be missing out on any features?
 
Would a wired gaming mouse be overkill? I. E would that combo be good for all tasks and gaming? Or should I get an extra mouse for gaming?

I think the combination I mentioned was wireless, but it's entirely up to you. You could do whatever you want. Some folk prefer wired. However, my setup at home requires wireless.
 
The 550 is way out of my budget (£100 on amazon)

Was thinking of the mk220 or the Microsoft 800.....
Something around £10-20
And then possibly a Logitech M6900 mouse... Which is around 15..
 
MSI GTX 660 Ti vs EVGA?

Both roughly the same price, but evga has a 3-10 year warranty which includes over clicking I think.....

Quick before they're out of stock!
 
I'm a HUGE fan of EVGA, and have never been a fan of MSI from personal experience reasons.

However, everyone I know seems to have good experiences with MSI. If it were me, I would go EVGA all the way, but I don't think you'll be disappointed with either of them.

+1

I would vote MSI just because I only have experience with that manufacturer, but I'm not really sure of the differences between the two cards.

I know MSI are overclock friendly too, considering the advertised their own overclocking software on the 570 box, although I'm not sure on the specifics of the warranty that came with mine.
 
*sigh*


I dont know anymore. I dont know if I'm gonna have time to play lots of games to make it worth spending the extra money on a better card...

So far, I've gone back to :

GTX 660Ti vs 570 vs 660Ti.

660 would be the Asus (
