Depends what you want really, you could in my opinion sacrifice some "eye candy" and get more performance for your money.

Yeah it's fine since you are upgrading the card in the future it's a pretty solid pc but you stated no cooler so i would say go with this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-036-CM&groupid=701&catid=2330 it's great value for money.

i love the case ive picked haha , will be using for everyday stuff , when i get a better graphics card will be using it for gaming aswell

The WD Hard drive is for storage or main drive?

Also if your overclocking have a look at a decent cooler below:

[Potty27]

Then go for it, I'd recommend adding a SSD though if you can stretch to one.

YOUR BASKET
1 x XFX Pro 650W Core Edition '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £59.99
Total : £59.99 (includes shipping : FREE).




This PSU would be better value for money in my opinion.

 

[GlasgowBhoy]

The HD is gonna be for both ?? and i wont be overclocking so is the heatsink necessary ??

 

[teppic]

I wouldn't get the 650ti. Either the 7790 for less money, or stretch to the 7850. Getting cheaper RAM would let you get the better card.

 

[Potty27]

If your not going to be overclocking, then that mobo is seriously overkill, as is the ram.

 

[Nickolp1974]

This ram would be better and £30 cheaper http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-032-TG&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1387
And i would use an ssd and add a HDD at a later date http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-161-SA&groupid=701&catid=2104&subcat=1427

Why not get a decent card now instead of upgrading later?

1 x MSI GeForce GTX 670 OC Twin Frozr Power Edition 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £199.99
1 x Intel Core i5-4670K 3.40GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail £191.99

1 x XFX Pro 650W Core Edition '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £59.99

You won't even need the thermal paste

You can keep to the stock cooler then, hard drive look at the Seagate below, this has a 7200rpm spin speed:

The 7790 is more money than the 650ti and i will be upgrading the graphics card to a 700 series nvidia card in the future

It's gone up - this one was £90 a few days ago:

The 7790 will outperform a 650ti though.

1 x Intel Core i5-4670K 3.40GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail £191.99
1 x MSI HD 7850 OC 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Cards £143.99

[Potty27]

P.S. I've not included a DVD drive as the OP had not.

 

[Potty27]

An SSD is included for OS / programs / games, so should feel much faster than the OP's first spec.

 

[GlasgowBhoy]

i like the basket but i wud be going for an nvidia sli in the future and this mobo doesnt allow that ??
