Gaming build - 1000-1300

[Fenlock]

Hi,

I am looking to do a complete refresh for my Brother for Christmas, including Monitor, a headset, mic etc. Everything apart from keyboard and mouse that we already got.

Primary use will be games, with some light photo and video work.

Any comments on this build i put together below?
I wanted to spend about 1000-1300.

Cheers

• Newer version of the case.
• CPU+Board bundle deal.
• Better gaming headset, the FLOs are pants.

I did a guide on how to overclock that board - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18690667

Thanks mate, no not set on the headset mic/monitor. Would be nice to get something that could do 120hz or higher refresh in the budget, and thought the blue mics were supposed to be ok so thought I'd do a cheap headset with no mic.
Thanks for this suggestion stulid hadn't seen the newer case or bundle
