£700 Build

Hi, I'm Putting a new rig together for a mate of mine and as such I've got £700 to spend. A Monitor isn't need but i've added a OS.

He'll be using it to game on mostly, so I've come up with the following spec..

Is there anything you'd swap and change? maybe the case/ RAM. Will there be room for the gfx?

Cheers, any suggestions would be appreciated.

get a 5770 or 4890 instead of that gpu i would say
also you aint got a cooler for your cpu either go retail or get something like
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-009-AL
you could get a 500gb samsung f3 instead of that dirve which will save you money to spend on the other stuff i have said
also look at the http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-009-AL
aswell both are decent boards but i think the msi has oc genie to help oc if you gona do it

Ahh yes, I forgot about the cpu cooler. I Will have to see if he's interested in overclocking it first, otherwise I'll go retail.

if he doesnt wanna overclock even then geta 10 quid cpu cooler.

Ok so overclocking is a go. I've included everything minus a CPU cooler and the thermal paste.

So I'm unsure if the above cooler will fit the case. Any ideas for a CPU cooler that'll fit?

Cheers

My Noctua NH-UP12 fits an Antec 300 comfortably and its huge.
