Hi guys

I have decided to build my first computer. I have picked some specs and wanted to make sure they are definitely all compatible with each other and to generally get a second opinion. This is pretty much my max budget and if anything would like to replace some of the components with cheaper ones if I can do so without effecting performance too much!

CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor £155
CPU Cooler: Enermax Liqtech 120X 111.0 CFM Ball Bearing Liquid CPU Cooler £70
Motherboard: Asus H87M-E Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard £65
Memory: Corsair 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory £92 (Maybe I only need 8GB?)
Storage: Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive £48
Samsung Spinpoint F1 DT 750GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive £25
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 770 2GB TWIN FROZR Video Card £228
Case: Corsair 350D Window MicroATX Mid Tower Case £80
Case fan: BitFenix BFF-LPRO-20025B-RP 148.7 CFM 200mm Fan £16
Power Supply: XFX TS 550W 80+ Gold Certified ATX Power Supply £53
Wireless Network Adapter: TP-Link TL-WDN4800 802.11a/b/g/n PCI-Express x1 Wi-Fi Adapter £26 (do I need this?)

Total: Just under £860, would be good to reduce this by a fair bit if possible, I'm thinking maybe 8GB ram, no SSD and not liquid cooling?

Thanks!
 
Thanks a lot for the feedback. Think I will definitely use the spec you have suggested. Although I would prefer a wireless card as it means I don't have to have direct access to the router to connect to wireless. Does anyone else have any feedback or any suggestions on how to reduce the price even more?
 
Actually a USB device is a very good shout. Will 550W defo be enough power? I thought it was probably more than enough but wanted to give a bit extra for possible future upgrades. Anyone got any info on how well this will run games like Bf3/4? And possible across multiple monitors (eyefinity)?
