PSU is also quite meh, especially for £69

YOUR BASKET

1 x Antec TruePower Classic 550w '80 Plus Gold' Power Supply £59.99

These are better

Thanks, changed the ram to the Vulcan. Does the rest seem OK to you?

You could change the Corsair PSU to Superflower, even though not modular is much superior.

I would swap the psu for one of these. A 550W is enough for a 970 and i5.

These are both 165mm deep so should fit in the case no problem.

YOUR BASKET
1 x EVGA Supernova G2 650W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply £74.99
1 x SuperFlower Leadex Platinum 550W Fully Modular "80 Plus Platinum" Power Supply - Black £71.99
Total : £156.58 (includes shipping : £8.00 Ex.VAT).

Thanks guys, I've made some changes but it's coming out a little more than would have liked. Any ideas where the price can be reduced slightly?
