My brother birthday is next month. I wanted to build gaming intel computer.

Currently have:
NZXT Alpha Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case.
Samsung 128GB SSD 840 PRO SATA 6Gb/s Basic.
Seagate Barracuda 3TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB.
Asus BC-12B1ST BluRay-Rom DVD-RW Drive OEM.
MSI GeForce GTX 650 Power Edition.
Window 8 64.bit.

I do not need a mouse, keyboard or monitor.

Willing to spend £400 - 500?

Nice specs Reaper though I'd add swap the CPU to retail or get an aftermarket cooler. I'd rather an aftermarket cooler tbh, but stock one would do (plus lots of people say it's worth it for the extra warranty)

Edit: I take that back, the mobo comes with a free cooler. My mistake!

- If you want the extra 2 years warranty, then go for the retail chip, but for the sake of keeping the budget down & getting everything in, I spec'd the OEM, plus CPU's very rarely fail, so I would expect it to outlive 3 years+ anyway.
