They also sent the PSU with a Euro plug rather than UK, and I've had to buy the CPU from Currys Business as Amazon have let me down with delivery. I'm not concerned though, as those nice customer service agents at Amazon are doing the needful and have told me not to worry. Bezos can bite me!
I hated the bad old days of having a vipers nest of cables inside the case. As well as restricting airflow, the molex and sata cables were an eyesore. Shouldn't be an issue on this case, as it's dual compartment and the PSU is kept separate from the MoBo, GFX etc. Only problem with that is that the case is a PSU's depth fatter than a regular case as it mounts on the side rather than at the back.
I used to opt for AMD chips when building a machine, as AMD were traditionally better suited to gaming and Intel fared better at number crunching tasks, but either would be more than enough for my needs.
The GFX card arrived today. I haven't take it out of it's ESD wrapper yet as I don't want it covered in drool.
If this doesn't up my game, I'm going back to MS Solitaire
