Would like it if you could just give it a quick check and make sure its all compatible, even though I'm pretty sure it is. And if there's any components you recommend I get instead of the ones I have chosen. Cheers.
 
Looks pretty good to me as it is. I'd prefer a top end air cooler than the Corsair hydro personally though. I'd also struggle to justify £120 on a 1TB mechanical drive. I'd rather buy a Crucial M4 128Gb SSD for around £150 and then add a storage mechanical when the prices come back down. It wasn't too long ago that £55 got you a 2TB drive.

You actually have quite a good idea there. Only thing is, when do you think mechanical hard drive prices will come back down?
 
I hate to thread hijack, and I've tried to search the forums to find the answer to this, but -

How do you post baskets into threads and have all the links and little pictures come up?

There doesn't seem to be a forum for forum questions
 
I am not super sure for video, monitors, anything other than air cooled. I would polulate with HDD when the prices decrease.

Do you need Windows 7?

Does this GFX card offer all you need for video?
