Thanks.
 
I assume the GPU is a GTX 670?

Whats the PC used for? For Gaming the 3570k is a lot better value than the 3770k, a lot better value.
 
Put a more powerful PSU. CX600 modular.

You sure about the SA fitting in the prodigy? and the m-itx motherboard?

Don't bother with IC-Diamond. the ChillFactor III that comes with Thermalright coolers is more than enough (assuming the cooler is compatible with motherboard + case).

spend £10 on the Leggera. From what I see, the Black Dragon is more of a 1333Mhz ram. Or corsair Vengeance Low Profile.

I've seen a D14 on that motherboard and in that case, so i don't see why a SA wouldn't.

Oliver is right about everything else though. :)
 
Yes its a 670. In March I will have £1200 and thought instead of spending the money on a better gpu I thought I would get an i7 as I am thinking of doing video editing in the future but its not for certain.

The D14 is a little bit more versatile in that respect. And yes, that one will fit a Prodigy (also, the Phanteks I believe). You may have to remove the read exhaust fan to fit the cooler. Not that you would really need one anyway.

Just something to be aware of.
