I want build a small computer for general use and some possible gaming. Here is the hardware

Intel Core i3 540 3.06GHz
Gigabyte GA-H55N-USB3 Intel H55 (Socket 1156) DDR3 Mini-ITX
OCZ Gold 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz

I'm not sure on what case to get. The Lian Li PC-Q07B and Silverstone Sugo look good. But I'm unsure of which to get. They don't leave much room for a CPU cooler either.

If I was to choose the Lian Li, I do have a spare coolermaster powersupply.

The main problem is what GPU to choose, I didn't want to go over £400, so I have around £70 for a GPU.

Maybe more if its worth it :)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Got the HDD. Going up get some more parts this week :)

I really want the Silverstone case come back in stock. :(
 
I'm just getting a cheap GPU for now! I can think of upgrades later on next year :)

Got my case :) Its soo tiny.
 
i5 for sure. I would assume that an i3 would be a massive bottle neck for your 5870

As for the ram, I'll get the Dominator, I'm not bothering with a cpu cooler for now. Stock will do.
