If you want it for gaming get a 760, cheaper case, lower wattage PSU and the superior G400 :)

The GTX 760 is very good for ~£200, it just wouldn't fit in the budget without sacrificing other things.

I picked the case due to the op wanting a silent rig as a priority.. That another reason I picked the PSU too. XFX's are really well made and I think this model may have a sleep mode when idle, so the fan doesn't spin up.. Silence..

If you think you can do better for under £900 and silent please do....

The above build is not very good you can get a 670 build with a 250gb ssd for 900!!

Good luck with that..

Remember silence is of great importance.

I though I did quite well really.. Who else disagrees? :)

I know you said you wont be OCing, but all you have do is up the multiplier in the bios to 42 and you have a little extra power when you need it. It would be a shame not to take advantage of the extra Ghzs available.

I was going to pick the standard 760 but he wants a silent build.
XFX PSUs are great, I never debated that. It's just 650W is overkill.
Since he needs silence and won't be overclocking the Freezer 7 pro is more than enough.
The Bitfenix Shinobi is quiet with stock fans. I had one for nearly over a year and it was brilliant.

Pretty much everything you picked is the best for his needs I'm just adjusting your basket.
