That's a pretty pricey cd/dvd/bluray drive. (At least it was where I was finding it listed)

Don't get the S version of the 4790. It is underclocked and locked (can't change clock speed). Also, the regular 4790, which is faster, is pretty much the same price.

I personally don't see the 360 dollar 6700k (average score 10,630) being worth the price jump from the 285 dollar 4790 (average score 10,049) in terms of performance. If you get the regular 4790, note that it is also locked, and therefore not eligible for overclocking. The stock cooling fan that comes with it will be sufficient.

Note that the 500W PSU only has enough connectors for one graphics card, and the 700W PSU has enough for two. Stick with the 500W PSU in a build if you are only going to have one graphics card. If you plan on potentially having 2, then the 700W would be needed for that.

Definitely get this instead of the seagate. It costs less, runs at a non-dynamic speed, and has a lower failure rate.

Let me know if I need to clarify anything, or if you have any other questions!

Take into account where he lives. Yes he can get things cheaper and better from Newegg, but the shipping cost will jack the price way up.

What's it like to proxy buy? How are your import laws?

If it is significantly cheaper, We could buy it U.S. and I could ship it to you.

Jankovski it looks like a great machine and the price is good. The only problem is the shipping, it costs a lot in toll. If i want it shipped to Denmark i need to put 27% of both the value and shipping cost on top of the price. And also i would like it to be ready when it comes, i have put a few computers together but it is not my strong side. But if it is a site which is housed in Europe (not UK) it is a lot cheaper for me.

No problem! I hope you enjoy your new bad-ass computer!

One last thing, I realize that my wording wasn't very good, but I just want to make sure we are on the same page about definitely getting the SSD and the HD!

I'm going to go ahead and mark this as resolved. Feel free to ask any other questions if any come up!
