Anything you'd change? For a friend mainly used for Project CARS. Delivery is free (So works out to £446.89inc)

Thought about changing the case for something cheaper and nastier but for the extra £15 I think the Corsair is worth it?

:EDIT: My thinking is going for the Z97 over H81 is better as it gives the extra 2x DIMM slots. He has a 2TB HDD he can use for data storage and a DVD-RW spare. No Windows OS needed.

And change the SSD. Those drives are plagued with slow NAND issues - Kingston changed the spec and used slower NAND modules once initial reviews were out.

Loosing the ability to add another kit of RAM/Overclocking but gaining a 960? Is it worth it?

Can't really budge on the SSD, max is £450, not a penny over unfortunately. Only just about able to include it. It's the fast boot up times and snappy response he is looking for so as long as access speeds are not effected it won't really matter to him.
 
Any recommended for cheaper? Those £20 ones don't look too nice to be honest (92mm fan in rear - ugh).
 
 
Looks like a good spec nkata. However I fear Project CARS won't really run very well on the red side - Pretty sure the 370 is a good deal slower than the 960.

The SSD is the one I'd have gone for if I could go an extra £10 (I may just pay the extra myself!).
