I would change the case, to be honest.

And possibly the CPU cooler. The H70 performs similarly to high-end air cooling, which is quite a bit cheaper.

Depends if you like it or not. I like it.

Please elaborate on high-end air cooling. Every where I have read says the H70 is amazing.

H70 is very quiet and performs well. But it's damned expensive.

£35 will get you an Akasa Venom or Titan Fenrir, which will give same performance, but be noisier and limit the size of ram (in terms of heatsinks) you can get under there.

Hmm I think id rather go with the H70 looks nicer, quieter ect..
 
What Cookeh said.

Still, if you can afford, you may aswell take the H70.

Personally, I'd save a little there, buy a Titan Fenrir, and then spend more on the case. Something like a CM 690-II or a Lancool PC-K62.
