Not many of us actually need as much storage as these l00ns
Hopefully that card will be cool enough to not need fans at idle, was one of the factors in my choice.

Just don't let Cans see it. |
The stock Wraith cooler is supposed to be awesome. |

Got part of my order today (downside to ordering from 2 different places), case, cpu, gpu & hdd. The Fractal case is lovely, can customise the shit out of it and very well built. The Spire CPU cooler doesn't seem like anything special, and as it turns out Cooler Master provide free AM4 mounting hardware, just have to pay postage so I'll do that. Probs will get a new fan also as this one is 5 years old now. Most of my case fans are on their way out, one of them squeals like mad some times ____________________ KTM 990 SMT & Suzuki DR-Z 400 SM |

Leave it as it is, Alan. Maybe clean the dust out of it.
About bottle necking, well, people on the internet say silly things all the time. To check it yourself, do as Sload says. IF when playing a game your CPU is at 100% load all the time (and you are sure there are no other apps on the background (malicious software perhaps)), while your GPU is bellow that, then you have a bottle neck. Worth noting, the differecnce we're talking about is 15% and more. Also worth noting, some games are more CPU depended, other's preffer to use the GPU more.
IF you notice your CPU works harder than the GPU (idealy you want the GPU at 100% load all the time), just pop the gfx settings up.
Last bit, if you've got 60Hz LCD panel/Tv, use the V-sync (idealy Adaptive V-sync). Unless you're doing a bench mark, there is no reason for your gfx card to spit out more than what the refresh rate of your monitor is (60Hz = 60fps). Every frame above the refresh rate of your monitor is a waste of electricity.
Download ''fraps'' to see how many FPS can your machine output during gaming. I aim at 60fps @ 1080p, for instance (adaptive V-sync). ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

Slight update, my budget went out the window quickly, came in at around £1300 after I got a new mouse and keyboard... and IPS monitor The PC is still sat in a corner waiting on an AM4 bracket from Coolermaster. I've got my Dell Ultrasharp monitor, Corsair K70 (cherry MX brown switches) and Razer mouse hooked up to my old PC and everything is good for now. Don't think I'll be able to go back from IPS, although I haven't tried gaming yet. Currently locked at 1080p on this old PC but it is a 2.7k monitor The keyboard is very nice also, mechanical switches are a joy to use.
The only thing I haven't replaced is my Logitech X-540 5.1 speakers, they are almost 9 years old now but still working perfectly so don't see the point as I'll be using a Tritton headset for gaming anyways. ____________________ KTM 990 SMT & Suzuki DR-Z 400 SM |

That is my monitor but there are loads of cheaper alternatives, especially if you only need 1080p ____________________ KTM 990 SMT & Suzuki DR-Z 400 SM |
