Got an 800W Modular PSU that can handle this. Just need a 90MM CPU Cooler if anyone has recommendations. In white if possible.

Got another £100 or so. Would like some responses ASAP. So i can purchase before tomorrow's delivery cut off.
 
Why have you gone for the AMD route and not the Intel route just out
of curiosity is there a particular reason for it ?
 
Unless you're going for the maximum overclock (which wouldn't be wise on a cheaper board) get the 8320 instead of the 8350.

I'd go for Gigabyte or Asus with AMD boards. If your budget allows, one of the 990FX boards for an 8 core CPU.

Did you accidentally put two lots of 2x4GB? If you really need 16gb, it'd be better to get 2x8GB.

Fare play then mate if thats what you want to go for buddy, although you can
get a better bundle than that which is more powerful if you go intel and its cheaper.
As you asked though a nice cooler for the bundle you want in white would be
this one mate.

This would be better than the AMD and you can upgrade to the 4670k/4770k later on if you need it. You also get Broadwell next year.

Was going to go with AMD as i already have an Intel Build downstairs.
But that doesn't look like a bad choice. What CPU cooler would suffice. Only got a Midtower. So i reckon i have 90MM of space.

You would be best posting a link to your case so we can look and see how much
clearance that you would have on the case, the Cooler I posted above needs
120mm clearance for it in the case.

Not sure if i am allowed to post links to other sites - So the case is:

CIT Vantage Midtower Case.
Form Factor: Midi Tower
Motherboard Support: ATX, Micro ATX, Mini ITX
PSU Support: Standard ATX
Gaming Case: Yes
Water Cooling Ready: Yes
Dimensions: 206mm x 447mm x 468mm (W x H x D)

Think i am going with the Intel Option i was posted about above but with 2 of the RAM sets to make it 16gb.

If you're not going to overclock (i.e. the 4670 and not the 4670K) you don't need a powerful cooler.
