      This is the cheapest base unit I'd go for. I would make a slight change to the RAM if more funds were made available. You just need to add your choice of suitable case.

          I'd probably pick up some Corsair, Kingston or Patriot sticks up. However if the RAM works, the RAM works. It is very, very rare to get incompatibility issues. The Avexir would no doubt be fine.

                You can OC. Just not as easy. The resale value would probably be much lower too.

                That'd do.

                  Not to worried about resale tbh.
                  Gonna see about getting at least some of these in.
                  The cards a few quid off, and well a few quids better than none.

                    I switched to a dedicated card after I had some issues with my on board sound, the guys at EVGA suggested that I just go get a cheap dedicated card because the shipping on a RMA would be more. I have a cheapo rocketfish sound card and I use a USB headset for gaming and I haven't had any problems for years.

                      You'll end up paying more in shipping negating the savings though, won't you?

                        Depends on how i can order them, batching sometimes works.
                        For a few quid its not worth it lol.
                        Im waiting to see if i can get mum pay what i need left.
                        On terms of cos prob like its a really early birthday.

                              Stock coolers have never been an issue.
                              I got silver paste i keep spare so will replace the naff pads with that.

                              Its an extra atm.

                                This. Totally forgot about it. The stock cooler is useless.
