First time build - Mid Tower i5 Gaming

[desi_jockey]

Hey people

I'm looking to complete a first time build of a mid range gaming pc. Several components I'm already set on getting, as in I see no other alternative for the price. These include the Case, CPU , RAM and DVD drive. Out of the rest, if there's something cheaper / better within the budget, I'm all ears!

Note: Several of the components have also already been ordered (GPU, Mobo, HD)

Many many hours drudging through the forums / reviews / specs has brought me to this set of components:

Case: Antec p180 mini [not stocked on OcUK]




Areas where I'm still a little unsure is the CPU cooler. The CM Hyper 212 + is much hyped, perhaps an alternative is the Gelid tranquillo?
The 4GB G.skill has been set in my build for a long while, is there no other good alternative at that price point?

Your thoughts / critique are appreciated!

Will you be overclocking?
If not, stick with the stock cooler and don't buy any compund, you won't need anything more than stock if not OCing.

Not a bad build and you still may be able to overclock, once you have your temperatures you can go from there.

There is a strong possibility that I will, yes. I would like to leave the door open for over clocking, hence the cooler. Which I guess is good enough for moderate OCing.

Thanks Put a lot of time scoping those components for that overall price, good to see someone else likes it too!
