Just got one of these for myself, if you are buying a few pieces Komplett combine shipping on their items so while it's 10euros for 1 item you'll be paying 10euros postage in total for a bunch of shit and that SSD is pretty sweet being down from 154 to 99euros, good time to buy... I thought!

Hmm I may need to look into this sooner if the deal is 99 euros, I assume they delievr to the UK?, if they accept my debit card I should probably snag this while I can since it would be a few pounds cheaper than the SSD I'm looking at on my list (checked prices a few mins ago well into the £100+ range =/).

Also I think I might go with a new internal HDD, the current one I sport is a WD Green 2tb with a write speed of 5400 RPM, the green product line is supposed to serve for mostly backups and storage of files instead of gaming like the Blue and Black line, I might go for a Blue WD internal 2tb since they are often cheaper than the black WD's which are just that bit more for a little more gain.

yea I kinda got the impression that I was screwing myself if I put that in my new my PC. I primarly game on consoles but I play a lot of Leage of Legends and Star Craft plus I'm a film student so I needed something decent with multimedia. I adjusted my list and decided I would go with these instead.

Intel i7-4770k

16 GB 1600mhz DDR3

I'm stuck on the GPU right now though. I have to pay off this semester of school befor I buy a GPU but which GPU would give me the best value.

I am really curious as to what ur budget is cause I really do feel like we could help you more if we knew ur budget. But yea, its better to not bother getting a low end GPU and use the integrated one than to get one and skimp out on other things so yea, waiting would be a great idea!

I don't know what you want to do with this PC, but neither of those PCs will "perform well" at anything more than simple browsing/office work/2D or 10 year old 3D games

so you should definitely go with the cheaper AMD system if your budget limits you to these specs

could consider something hybrid"y" then? like http://www.komplett.ie/product/zkb-01opsl/20210500/seagate-barracuda-sshd-1tb-8gb-hybrid/details.aspx

basically 1tb drive with an 8gb cache for programs and files which is a tiny SSD stuck to the side of the magnetic drive. Have 500gb variants of these at the College I work at, they're pretty effective and fast, do lost the ability to turn off your magnetic disks and just run silently from an SSD if you go hybrid tho.

also... http://hexus.net/business/news/retailers/13995-komplettcouk-shuts-uk-operations/ possibly bad news for you in the UK there, which is odd since my package from them came through the UK on its way to me.

Would be odd for them not to sell to the UK members from that site?

I'm a student so my bugdet is lousy right now I could spend maybe 600 on a PC maybe 1,000 over time but I'm one of those better safe than sorry people. I had a 3-Way SLI in my old PC but I had a weak CPU bottlenecking a lot of performance. I'm not going to use those graphics cards however because those are away from where I go to school and I built that for my mother and her husband who use tons of multimedia like photoshop, 4ds studio blah blah blah... I can't go with a weaker CPU however because I have to render tons and tons of HD video and 3D animations just for school.

No worries, I should be able to find that model somewhere if they can't deliver to me directly, I'm not too keen on hybrid drives just yet, maybe in 2-3 more years from now I'll dive into them.

On the bright side PC parts tend to go down in price faster than they used to.

Well if I manage to get myself a GTX 980 or get that donated 780ti you're welcome to having the 680 or 660ti (my previous model) if you want, completely free of charge if that helps in the GPU dept.

You could also always try a double 660ti SLI or 680 combo, dunno how much 680's are but I'd imagine them to be cheap, 660ti's should be dirt cheap by now.

As many have said, the Intel chip is the way to go. I also agree with Conina... that 750 Ti is a solid graphics card that will last you a long time.
