Hi,

So im looking to get a gaming pc and my friend has kindly offered to give me his 7970 ghz edition and ive got a Cooler Master Elite 130 Mini ITX Tower Case
mainly because i travel back and forth from university a lot so thats why ive chosen to go with itx.

I dont know too much about the difference from ATX etc so opinions would be helpful
but if you could help me out that would be great.

Budget is around £500
