Need advice on PC specs

Spank

Sorry misunderstood your request that link just takes you to the memory I suggested, but if you click oh the hardare tab at the top then 3xs systems tab they sell custom built systems themselves.

Seems fine to me, but make sure the lighting in your room will not bounce off the case front & hit you in the eyes (or chose a diffrent case)

Ignore, can't see for looking.

Lol, hadn't really looked at the case - I guess I'll get the second one on the list. Will the cooler and power supply be OK?

It should be enough, but I personally you spend extra on a branded PSU, they are made from much higher quality parts & less likely to fail (& possibly taking other parts with it)
