New Gaming PC.

[Rambo89]

Hi,

Looking for some pointers on the new rig i am planning to get in the coming weeks my budget is £800-£1250, see my Sig for my current spec.

Already got 5 HDD's from my current PC and a Blu Ray Writer and use a Logitech G930 headset so no soundcard needed, also have 2 fairly new monitors and do not need any peripherals.

Not sure if below is best i can do for the money.

1x I5-3570K 3.40Ghz OEM or Retail doesn't matter
1x Asus Z77 Sabertooth
1x Gainward GeForce GTX 660 Golden Sample
1X PC Power & Cooling Silencer MKII 750w
1X Geil Black Dragon 8GB(2x4gb) DDR3 PC3-1280
1x Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev 2
1x OCZ Agility 3 240gb(For OS+Retail Games)
1x Mach Xtreme Technology 480GB(For Steam)
1x Fractal Design Define XL

£1259.60 all in.

850watt psu bit overkill i know but cheaper than 750 watt so why not. little extra juice cant hurt

changed case to bitfenix shinobi? a full atx case seems abit much for the spec

if you prefer the case i cna respec some parts to drop price and squeeze it in

Before you do a re-spec, you might want to read the OP, as you are missing an item.

Thanks for Suggestions, on thinking and checking size of my steam folder may go for one SSD and a 680 to future proof a bit but will have a look and decide.

If anyone else can chip in anything else that be great, main reason for going for the Full Tower as i liked the Fractal Design Define XL since i first saw it pop up.
