Is this workstation build ok?

[TchamiDK]

Hi,

I'm building a new workstation, which primarily will be used for working, but also some gaming (e.g. Diablo 3).

The build below totals around 1400 British pounds ~ 2200 USD, which is within my budget.

I'm looking for help on:

1. Any items I've missed?
2. Which GPU - Asus 560 Ti or MSI 560 Ti?
3. Is a CPU fan necessary/suggested even though the boxed i7-2600 comes with heatsink/fan?

Any advice is much appreciated!

the stock hsf is fine since you can't overclock the 2600 much (it's not the k, and you're building a workstation)
besides, that hsf is ridiculously overpriced >.<

people generally consider asus a better brand than msi

you might want to go with a non sandforce SSD drive for reliability/stability reasons.
ex: intel 320/520, crucial m4, samsung 830, and i think plextor
sandforce isn't that bad anymore though some people still have problems with them

congrats on a new computer

Thanks for the reply! Got everything on order now, except for the hsf.
