Hi,

thanks for reply. Why would you go with the gigabyte board for? What case would you recomend instaedNot a-lot.
I would get an i7 and a 770 with your budget personally, and then overclock them both. But the i5 and 780 combination works fine too.
I would get a 256GB SSD rather than a 120GB as you will find the 120 filling up quite fast.
I wouldnt get an MSI motherboard, I would get a Gigabyte Z87X-D3H.
I wouldnt touch a Phantom case with a barge pole because it may be £110 but it looks like it should cost half that. I would get something with a far better metal construction if you want to spend that much on a case.
The PSU is alright, but I wouldn't get that model, I would plump for a 750W 80+ Silver XFX XXX like mine, A Corsair TX750 or a Seasonic.
You would also benefit hugely from getting aftermarket cooling as you wont be overclocking that CPU without it, and it will run quite hot even at stock clocks.
All in stock bits,
This is what acme was sort of imagining.
