Just don't know if the extras I get with the V are with that 15 quid.
It has wifi, more i/o ports and extra 'stuff '
I was told thermaltake is 'low quality' on TSF.
Thermaltake makes some of the best PC products, including PSU's and cases. Whomever you have been speaking to is clearly misinformed or is sharing personal biased opinion.

I agree, I've had nothing but pleasure with Thermaltake.
haha your computer is a hell of a lot better than mine xD
Severely lacking funds :P currently I've got an old Dell (hate dell) with Windows XP Pro SP3, Intel Celeron CPU 1.80GHz, 1.2GB RAM, basic graphics controller and only like, 130GB Harddrive lol
If I was willing to splurge a bit on a case, I would've ended up buying the TT Level 10 GT in all white. I just couldn't justify nearly $300 on a case (after taxes).

I was thinking of the Corsair TX750...Is that better than the thermaltake.
Corsair seems to be the head honcho in the PSU world. I have the HX750, but it's modular. Modular just = better for aesthetics. I would recommend the HX or AX models.

Oh no, it's much, MUCH better for air flow. Especially for those of us who like to push our systems without water cooling.
Would a wired gaming mouse be overkill? I. E would that combo be good for all tasks and gaming? Or should I get an extra mouse for gaming?
I think the combination I mentioned was wireless, but it's entirely up to you. You could do whatever you want. Some folk prefer wired. However, my setup at home requires wireless.

I'm a HUGE fan of EVGA, and have never been a fan of MSI from personal experience reasons.
However, everyone I know seems to have good experiences with MSI. If it were me, I would go EVGA all the way, but I don't think you'll be disappointed with either of them.

I would vote MSI just because I only have experience with that manufacturer, but I'm not really sure of the differences between the two cards.
I know MSI are overclock friendly too, considering the advertised their own overclocking software on the 570 box, although I'm not sure on the specifics of the warranty that came with mine.
I dont know anymore. I dont know if I'm gonna have time to play lots of games to make it worth spending the extra money on a better card...
So far, I've gone back to :
GTX 660Ti vs 570 vs 660Ti.
660 would be the Asus (£180) , 570 would be the MSI (£240 ) , and then the 660Ti's: EVGA vs MSI vs Zotac which are around £220-260
I just don't know anymore.
Games I would - if I could - would be Portal, Batman : Arkham City , GTA 4, Just Cause 2 , Left 4 Dead, Trine etc.......
So I dont know if the 560 is better for me.... Only because I've been told by some people that £220-250 is WAY too much .
I mean, I understand that all of my games are old , and they would work with a 560Ti , but would it be good ? Like without freezing etc.... and I woul dlike to play with high quality graphics.
Help?
EDIT: The 660Ti's come with Borderlands 2 worth £30 .... so effectively , they're £190-£220
[...compared with the £210 and £270 560/570 ( if you add the cost of BL2 ) but I probably would get it otherwise ]
EDIT 2 : I would be using the PC for working ( schoolwork) browsing , video editing ( AVCHD ) and light gaming..... Dunno if that makes a difference.
Also,
I'm only thinking of getting the expensive cards for -
A- Playing what I have on higher settings
B- Increased performance
C- Future Proofing

Well I broke down and bought the Cooler Master hyper 212+, I was doing prime results and it was getting pretty hot in there. I've also ordered 2 megaflow 200mm case fans to help with the push/pull. I'm not looking forward to tearing everything out, but oh well!
With my build, Using the Tt Level 10 GT case, I made sure to install a fan on the bottom of the case drawing air into the case from underneath, and I replaced the top exhaust fan with the radiator from my Corsair H100 CPU water cooler. End result, I have good airflow from front to back and bottom to top, keeping it a lot cooler inside than I would have thought.
I also opted to jump on the eVGA 560 Ti 448 Core (dual fans), and the door has a huge 230mm fan blowing in that I've directed at the video cards.
Keeping flow paths clear is just as important as having the intake and exhaust fans positioned correctly. Cleaning dust filters (if equipped) will be key as well to keeping temps down.
So far it benchmarks really good, and at stock fans and heatsync (yeah i know, heresy) the temperatures are really good under load. I plan on adding about 4-5 more case fans and eventually replace the heatsync with a better aftermarket when/if I decide to push the processor past stock clock.
I also found out the hard way that another 570 HD won't fit in my case, so if/when I decide to go SLI I'll have to upgrade the case and remount EVERYTHING. /facepalm
I've just realised that my CM Storm Enforcer case only comes with two fans , and the other two are optional.
Question is, am I likely to be needing those fans from day 1? Or should I be ok for a while , and I'll pick some up later , or should I just leave it ?
I know how you feel about the case. I ordered a motherboard that is not SLI compatible, only Crossfire compatible. And I have a NVidia graphics card. So I'm either going to have to sell my NVidia card and buy 2 AMD cards, or replace the whole motherboard taking everything out and putting it back in. I think I'll just go the easy route. It will save me money too because I won't need a new motherboard. At least not for a while.
When do I know I need a new motherboard? For an upgrade?
Yeah, my motherboard is only CF compatible, but the PCI slots are x8/16., and I have a nvidia card too :P
I think, if I ever feel the need to SLI, I'll just try and sell my current mobo, and buy another. Looking back, I guess I should've spent the extra £20 or so for the better motherboard ( I chose my motherboard when I was on a strict budget, but then the budget evaporated with the purchase of my GPU and monitor )
I guess you'd need a new motherboard when new components you want wont be compatible - i.e. new CPU socket type, DDR4 RAM, etc.

That depends on a few things. Mostly compatibility of parts of which you are looking to upgrade. CPU socket types tend to be the major reason behind mobo upgrades.

so getting an extra 660 is out of the question...
