    That looks great infact, the parts are similar to the other build I wanted to do.
    Would lite-on-optical-drive-ihds11804 (sorry cant post links its on the pcpartpicker site cheapest optical drive on there) Be fine to use just in case I need one? and what could I expect with a build like this could it handle the games out now (battlefield / Call of duty 4) around medium graphics?
    Also thanks for the quick response really appreciate it.

    One more thing the CPU cooler has really mixed reviews on amazon and the item is under review. Is there another one you could recommend for roughly the same price that may be easier to install. If not no problem I'm sure I will work it out ^^
    Thanks

    Yeah any cheap DVD drive will do, I forget to add one sometimes because I don't use one myself. Maybe this one instead:

    Samsung SH-224DB/BEBE DVD/CD Writer


    You need one SATA cable for the SSD and one for the HDD and one for the DVD drive, there is two in the box with the motherboard so you need one more.

    Review of the 620 heatsink

    Otherwise look at one of these:

    Thermaltake Water 2.0 Performer || Review
    Corsair H60 || Review

    See what you think.
