Seems all good

Personal recommendations-
-Antec 300 for the case (buy some 2 extra fans for it at the front, easy to fit) £50 or less with the fans
-Corsair TX 650W for PSU

Price seems good for what you got there and I would pretty much pick the same if I were buying a new pc atm

That RAM is 1.9V, lynnfield only uses 1.65 stuff, so get something like the ripjaw else youll fry the memory controller
