Price £1,440.42 Will this system play the lastest games on a high setting for at least 2-3 years.? Also is the graphics card good, i believe its a high end card without being stupidly overpriced but is the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 - 3 GB woth the extra £ 113.96 that i will notice a big difference? With the power supply is that the max power it takes? With the system modding do you have a complete list of what you do and is there and with the case i selected be suitable for this, Also with the Cooler Master Elite 430 case be suitable. I dont have much knowledge of pc to an extent that i am confident, but i roughly know things so any help would be good.

Thanks Carl

Hello,

I'd suggest changing the cooling unit to the H60 the H80 isn't needed for this spec. I would not suggest the mod service on this setup. With the money saved on the mod and H80 products i'd suggest changing the graphics card to the standard GTX 580 not the 3 GB card. This would give you a well balanced PC which would handle the latest games for many years.

Hi Steve Thanks very muchCan i ask why you wouldnt suggest the case modding service on this setup. Also do you offer any other service that adds extra fans.For example the Cooler Master Elite 430 only comes with 1 fan but has another 5 additional bays. And i have noticed other cases come with more bay slot. Thanks Carl

The case modding service is better on bigger cases like the HAF-X you won't get any benefit really on a smaller case.

We can add additional case fans for £7 each.
