You mean the SS-760KM correct? The SS760K doesn't exist.

That doesn't come with single braided cables it comes with braided cables. It's where all the cables are bundled together then have a single piece of braid over the entire bunch. Single braided cables have a piece of braid for each individual cable.

Here is what the SS-760KM cables look like:

And this is what single braided cables look like:

Single braids look like muscle fibers or something. In every case I have seen them they seem to add life to it.

So... how much do you expect it to cost you? :P
Yes, this was a completely unnecessary post. Deal with it.

Hmm, well. So far it has been:
Case: £210
CPU: £150
Which is £360.

Future components are probably gonna be:
PSU: £140
Motherboard: £170
Watercooling: £130-£180 area.
SSD: £100
Moard HDD: £100
RAM: £50
GPU: I really dont know whether I want to save for a few months after finishing the rest and get a 680/670/680 or go for a 560Ti 448 core shaboodle.

So without GPU somewhere around £1000. Damn, this is getting expensive. lol.

Yeah, it is pretty cheap when you look at it that way. But I am looking at it from the "My current computer cost £400" side of things.
