I meant which components? All of them :P

Screenshot your basket :P

I shouldnt need to tell you this, but when i bought from you guys i used to call up in the day to confirm that the hardware i order worked fine together, if any known issues reported etc, Vini was the man for that.

The retail one supplied is okay unless you want to reduce noise, Im still using the retail Intel cooler. Your motherboard onboard sound will be fine too.
