I've got up to £600 to spend on an upgrade/new build and wanted to make sure I'm getting the best value for money.

Use: Gaming
Overclocking: Yes
Space: Limited

I'll be reusing my M4 SSD, Samsung HD and GTX 460 (which I'll be upgrading later in the year) and hope to re-use my Corsair HX520 PSU which doesn't support low power states but should be more than adequate in terms of power.

Only thing I won't be buying from OcUK are SP120 and SP140 fans because they're currently out of stock.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i5-4670K 3.40GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail £173.99
1 x Asus Z87I PROFESSIONAL Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 Mini-ITX £145.99
1 x Corsair Hydro H100i High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler £103.99
1 x BitFenix Prodigy Mini-ITX Cube Case - Midnight Black £69.95
1 x Patriot Viper "Black Mamba" Generation 3 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-17000C11 2133MHz Dual CHannel Kit (PV38G213C1K) £65.99
Total : £559.91 (includes shipping : FREE).



Anything I should be aware of or change from that spec?

Usually upgrade my graphics card every 2 or 3 years but hoping most of this build lasts as long as my current Q6600 has.

Thanks :)
