Krypton Z68 TURBO Intel Core i5 2500K 3.30GHz @ 4.00GHz DDR3 Overclocked Bundle FREE SLEEPING DOGS GAME This bundle uses a ATX motherboard, the case can only take upto a mATX board.

This Nano H77 Intel Core i3 3220 3.30GHz Mini ITX DDR3 Bundle would be better.

lol about the suggestion for selling 7750 which is quite a margin faster than the 7660D on the A10-5800K. OP can just grab a Pentium G2020 2.90GHz IvyBridge dual-core for under £50 (or Pentium G2120 IvyBridge 3.10GHz at £60) to pair it up with his 7750 and have better gaming performance on both CPU and graphic sides
