looking at buildind a new desktop gaming pc would these items work well together and actually fit, i would also be adding a 120 gb ssd and 3 mech hdds that i have and a hd 6570 1gb ddr5 GPU,

i have never built a computer before so am open to advice and criticism, thanks
 
I'll let others help you out with a build, but my advice is to buy from a real dealer, not someone off eBay.
 
case - no good.
PSU - rubbish
Bundle not particularly cheap.

And I don't know how good ebay seller for RMA. I suggest you go for computer online retailer or amazon.

Buying the bundle from scan.co.uk costs about 200 pounds exactly, so its not expensive, but daisy's build is by fair better.
 
How is the bundle not cheap when its the same price as retail almost everywhere? Its not expensive thats for sure. Amazon was more expensive and ebay has buyer protection like anywhere else.

What is the point of getting bundle than better spec product if they are not cheaper?
 
The bundle doesn't work out being an awful lot cheaper than buying the parts separately. Maybe £5-10 or so? I wouldn't bother with that bundle from eBay. The RRP is definitely NOT £345 as they state - that's a complete rip-off.

Best bet is to buy the parts from proper computer hardware retailers such as Novatech, Aria and Overclockers because they all have good customer service and all of the parts will have come from the same place, so it'll be easier to send anything back if need be because you won't have the hassle of trying to remember what came from where (which is one of the reasons why I don't really like that PC Part Picker website).

Daisy's build is good. You might want to consider a graphics card if you're going to be doing gaming though.

And you can take it from me with first hand experience that the Galaxy case you originally wanted is complete crap. I've got a friend who has one. It's a pretty bad case. The Zalman is far better.
 
ASUS GeForce GTX 570 1280MB if i add this gpu to the amazon set up above will it give me a good start and handle BF4 on high setting, i also intend to buy a 3d display is this gpu up to the job?
 
if i add a ASUS GeForce GTX 570 1280MB GPU to the set up below would it be a good set up?

Corsair CX430 - if you are going to install higher end video card, you will need a better PSU than this one

have bought all the parts from amazon and the PSU from amazon and an extra 2 ssd drives. hopefully i will be able to build it!! what score would the set up give me in WE and would i get good fps on recent games?
 
Assuming WE is the Windows Experience Index, I have no idea what your score will be in Windows 8 (and you should really upgrade to 8.1 if you have 8, and there is no WEI in 8.1), but in Windows 7 everything should be in the 7s apart from if you have a HDD which will likely be at 5.9.

But don't take too much notice of the WEI - it's a pretty useless 'benchmark.'

Your GTX 570 should give you good frame rates in recent games, yes, but the 1.25GB of RAM it has may be a bit of a limitation with resolutions higher than about 1920x1080 or 1920x1200. Most newer cards have at least 2GB now, most getting on for 3GB.

i have 8.1 all 3 x ssd one with OS on, running 8.1 use chris pc win experience - rates out of 10

Windows 8.1 no longer has the Windows Experience Index.

Not sure what you mean by 'Chris PC Win Experience' - is that an alternative of the Windows Experience Index for 8.1? Never heard of it or used it before, so I don't know what scores you'll get out of 10. Maybe 7 or 8 if I were to guess since the GPU is two generations old and the CPU is mid-range but still relatively powerful.
 
Ah right ok. Well I didn't take an awful lot of notice of the WEI. There are better benchmarks out there which are more accurate.
