My Build

@Lee32uk, the G2 PSU is out of stock everywhere and will most likely be like that for a while, I'd recommend changing that in the spec.

And for the sake of spending an extra £20 just for a window, I'd grab a better case that has a window already, Corsair 540 springs to mind.

I just stuck the Aerocool case in as an alternative to the ops original choice.

Yeah the EVGA has been out of stock for ages. Anyway the 850W is in stock so that isn't a huge problem :D
 
Don't support dual channel memory? :o
I think they do, just perhaps not written on the Gigabyte/OcUK website, but all the mid-range/high-end motherboards will support dual channel DDR3, if they don't I'd be seriously worried :S
Gigabyte website shows it does support dual channel

As for the case, it looks good but features wise it doesn't seems all that great - your decision though, so go for what you want!

How about something like this?

Good luck getting that Ram under the cooler :D The Raijintek is going to cover the first Ram slot, and maybe even the second. It would probably be best to get the Kingston low profile ram.

Very good point, I'll edit that :D Cheers

Ok looks like a good one.

If there is any better options for Mobo with the same processor as someone pointed out that asus has poor support. i personally have never had an issue with Asus but i have only had 1 board and its lasted years.

Most PSU's are out of stock too.

Also the below is out of stock at the minute but i dont think i will need as the other cables come with one PCIe Connecter

Yeah you can drop the single Silverstone cable, as the bundle has 2 x pci-e cables in it.
 
All the PSUs that have been specced are better than that BeQuiet 730w (which has two separate 12v rails instead of a single rail, which can sometimes lead to issues in certain circumstances).

The max combined output of that BeQuiet's 12v rail is 660w, compared to the others which have the same max output (or very close to it) as what it says on the tin. Its warranty is only 3 years compared to the 5 years on the EVGA B2 I specced, which is a better PSU anyway (and is quiet if that is a concern). There are even better ones like the EVGA G2's and SuperFlower Leadex's if you want to spend a bit more.

I'd have a look at one of the phanteks , or Bitfenix cases mate, I wouldn't buy an Aerocool case again, I have the Deadsilence and the front panel is the cheapest material I've ever seen in a case, they describe it as " Leather coated " but it is just cheep plastic with an almost rubber effect to it, bloody awful.
