Hi I'm wondering if you guys like this build, or would either suggest or change any about it. I have a £590 max budget. I'm going to use the computer for mainly gaming and watching 1080p movies. Furthermore is everything in the build below compatible with each ie everything will work? I only need the parts suggested below as I have everything else. Thanks!

YOUR BASKET
1 x VTX3D HD 7870 Black Boost Edition 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £164.99
1 x AMD Piledriver FX-8 Eight Core 8320 Black Edition 3.50GHz (Socket AM3+) Processor - Retail £119.99
1 x Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0 AMD 970 (Socket AM3+) DDR3 Motherboard £89.99
1 x TeamGroup Xtreem LV 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-17000C11 2133MHz Dual Channel Kit (TXD38G2133HC11DC01) £65.99
1 x NZXT LeXa S Windowed Midi Tower Case - Black £59.99
1 x OcUK Battle 750W Dual Rail High Efficiency Modular '80 Plus' Power Supply £53.99
1 x Cooler Master Hyper T4 CPU Cooler £20.99
Total : £590.92 (includes shipping : £12.50).

 
The first half looks good though the second half scares me. That PSU is a no-no. A 550-600w decent brand psu would be much much better.

That case isn't great either, id personally go for a 200r or if a window is needed 300r or bitfenix shinobi (non-core).

Also the cooler. True spirit 120 or hyper 212 would be my choice.

A few questions!
Would the 2666MHz version instead of the 2133 still be compatible?

Furthermore what would be the differences between the vtx3d 7870 and the msi 7870 in performance?

And if someone didn't mind answering as to why the case, cooler and PSU are bad choices than it would be much appreciated like all of your help!

Idleman's spec is very good, as others have, erm, quoted.

I'd be inclined to get the cheaper Xigmatek case and push the graphics card up to a 7950 though.
