Sorry horrible post layout..

I have HDD and SSD plus monitor (*1050), keyboard & mouse plus speakers and OS.
This will be purely for Gaming mainly Steam FPS & maybe some Guildwars 2. Initial GPU will be XFX AMD 7870 Black Addition from an older build and this will be upgraded around xmas time...

Budget is £500 but anything under is a serious bonus for me.

Colour scheme Red / Black is what trying to go for...

Anything I could consider as alternative before I select "Spend"?

If you can increase your budget a bit, then something like this is an option (it needs more refining from someone with more recent knowledge than me though)

The EVGA SuperNova GS is made by Seasonic and is on par with the G2 made for EVGA by SuperFlower. They are both designed to be slightly better than SuperFlower's Golden Green HX, which isn't bad at all either, just less premium quality and non-modular.


Avexir Core/Blitz memory would also look nice in that set-up. Those Kingston red kits are nice too.
