Looks a nice setup, why two blu-ray drives though?

one for games and dvd's the other purely for burning. Always had that setup.

Fair point, personally Id just use the 2nd one for everything, then when its worn out, buy a new one seeing as they would be way cheaper by then

Nice choice on the HDD btw

Hey,

Welcome to the forums!

The PC looks great, there isn't really anything I can recommend to change. I take it you're a gamer then? This thing will smash you through anything you throw at it lol!

Hmm I would have gone for a 1200w power supply instead but I guess there's no harm in getting a bigger one.

The 1200W one is £25 more expensive for the Corsair one and I wouldn't even think about getting the Quad Rail one for such a setup IMO

I would have gone for the HX1000w for this build.

agreed, ive got a similar setup with the HX1000w & it handles my setup easily
