Need to upgade in order to run BF3.
So far I was thinking:
Case: Cooler Master Silencio 550 £65
CPU cooler: Antec KÜHLER H2O 620 £45
CPU: Core i5 I5-2500K 6 MB £164
Ram: Kingston HyperX Genesis (2 x 4 GB (8 GB) / DDR3 SDRAM / PC3-12800 / 1600 MHz/ CL9 / 1.65 V) £41
MB: Gigabyte GA-Z68AP-D3 (rev. 1.0) £78
Already have:
PSU: Corsair TX750W V2
GFX: GTX 480 (Thanks to Trev)
GFX Cooler: Zalman VF3000F
Any suggestions to changes are welcome.
Update:
Case: Fractal design R3 - A bit more expensive but much better airflow and lower temp
Cooler: Noctua NH-D14 or NH-C14.. Not sure which is best.

As far as I can see on the tests the H80 only cools a tiny bit better but makes more noise and is more expensive (around £32 more).. Unless I'm wrong? Good perfomance with low noise is what I'm looking for but dont know what to pick. I'm aiming for a quite PC that performs well. As far as I can see Noctua NH-D14 and NH-C12P SE14 cools better and is more quite but maybe I'm overlooking something?  CoolHandLuke=GCHQ= wrote: That Case is no good for Overclockers according to this review. http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/chassis/31145-cooler-master-silencio-550-chassis-review/?page=2This simulated load doesn't reflect real-world usage scenarios, but make no mistake - if you're wanting to overclock and push your CPU to its limits, the Silencio 550 simply isn't the chassis to do it with. Yes I've read all the reviews I could find about the case. Including that one. They don't say it's no good for overclocking. They say it's no good if you want to overclock to the limit of what the CPU can take. Ofc a case with foam will keep more of the heat inside compared to one without foam and slow fans will pump out less air than fans that spin like mad  Thing is I want a quite PC. I would rather sacrifice the last 10% performance in overclocking than having a PC that sounds like its about to take-off with afterburners on. Got any other suggestions to a silent case that isnt dirt expensive but with better cooling?  Maybe I'm the only one that cares about how much noise a PC makes? _________________ .................................. FYI: Donald Duck = Anders And (in Danish)

Its not so much when there is full load on the PC. It's mainly the rest of the time that I dont want to hear to PC. happyslappy wrote: i thnik its cause of the shemale porn he downloads at night - he doesnt want to hear the pc You cheeky mofo.
