    Good luck And with how much this will cost, you'd be smarter to save a few hundred £'s and buy a PC premade. But that's just my view on it :>

    It'll cost me £740. Only reason I'm building is it's cheaper/get better specs for littlier cash.

    Make sure to include an NIC and a sound card (unless they are integrated into mobo).

    I found out that I missed out a CPU cooler.

    And the dvd rw's were just cases.

    If you're not going to do any overclocking, just use the stock cooler and save a couple bucks.

    Yeah I'm not going to overclock, any recommendations for the one I should get?

    Also someone said I have a single motherboard and I should get double or whatever..?

    You do not need a second motherboard lol. One is just fine.

    Also yeah, you could skip out on a aftermarket cooler if you are not going to overclock, but paying a extra 30-40$ for one wouldn't hurt. I do not know, paying 40$ for a aftermarket cooler and thermal paste... I have seen people who have gotten their CPU down to room temperature. But you will be alright with stock. Afterall, it was built for the CPU. Just make sure your case has good airflow.
