im undecided atm, whether to build my own rig.

Ive previously asked for a built but after some research and some threads i sort of have a better idea of what i would like to have now based on what im do with it, so budget is around 750 pounds, doesn't include keyboard,mouse,monitor or OS as i have that and also i already have 8gb of ram 1600mhz so it doesnt have to be in the built but if you wish to add more ram its fine.

Im looking around this sort of built:
AMD fx 8320 or 8350 / maybe 6 series
gpu: amd radeon 7950??
mid tower case with see thru side panel
max amount of fans cases allows (blue led light ?)
liquid cooling for cpu
motherboard, non micro unsure on this?
powersupply 600w?
basic optial drive
HDD 500gb min. maybe ssd too?
2x2gb dual channel 1600mhz ram to make it 12?


also ive never completely built a machine from scratch, done a few upgrades here and there on previous machines but any advice for first timers?
 
What you have listed in the OP is a good guideline for what to get :) Just be careful not to skimp on the PSU and get a reputable brand such as Corsair, XFX, Seasonic or OCZ.

Are you using the computer mainly for gaming and if so which sort of ones? (FPS, MMO etc)
