Ok, so this is the build I'm pretty certain on, can you check if it is all compatible and will run smoothly, thanks! :)

Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
Asus MAXIMUS VI IMPACT Mini ITX LGA1150 Motherboard
Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5" Solid State Disk
EVGA GeForce GTX 780 3GB Video Card
Corsair 250D Mini ITX Tower Case
Corsair CX 750W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
Microsoft Windows 8.1 (OEM) (64-bit)

Do you think I should get a custom corsair CPU cooler, or do you think I should keep it as it is? Is 750W enough for this build and future updates?

Cheers once again :)
 
Sorry for the late reply, thanks for the information. It does look tight, and I think I would only use a custom CPU cooler if I really needed one. Do you think my PSU is sufficient for al the components I have? :)
 
Thanks for the reply and the recommendation, the PSU looks great so I will be using that instead :) I don't think I will be overclocking and therefore won't need a custom cooler, as I'm coming from a Intel 2 Duo processor and I think the speed difference would keep me happy for a while ;) Thanks for the info though, because if I do decide to over clock the h100i looks pretty sick.

Thanks for all your help Fulax :)
 
Thanks for the suggestion. the motherboard is ITX whereas I am planning to build a Mini-ITX system, but I can see where you are coming from. I think that I will just leave the build as it is as it will have more than enough power for me
 
yeah i know the board is overkill, however it just looks so awesome, and I'm one of those people who will buy/build a system and keep it for 5 + years without upgrading it (I'm currently on a 2008 iMac) As Fulax said, the K CPU is just there so that if i wanted to, I can easily over clock without having to buy a brand new processor or by any other means.
 
Do you think that the OcUK team would be able to build this for me, like they do for people on the system Configurator? I would do it now, but they only offer to build LAN Prodigy builds and Mid to high-tower builds
 
I know I could use a splitter but the lack of fan header's connections would be a pain for me, but I'm still considering it. Is there a reasonable justification of spending £80 more for a 4770K, than a 4670K?

Like I know there would be a performance increase, but is it substantial?
