What is the price of that build?
I'd go for silver warranty (£5) and get a cheaper HDMI cable.

What's the difference with the silver warranty?

What's the difference with the silver warranty?

Bumps up the collect and return from 1 month to a year

 

[keynes]

The difference between standard and silver warranty is that with silver you get collection of the item covered for 1 year as oppose to 1 month with standard. If there is a fault with your pc after 2 months you have to pay for the return/delivery of the component.

Ah right I see, cheers

What are you using the PC for as you have a high end CPU and quite low on the rest, also as it looks like you are using seperate speakers if you already have a DVI cable just use that as the only extra HDMI offers is sending an audio signal for monitors with built-in speakers the picture quality is just the same on both.
