Hey guys,
So i'm planning on building my first gaming PC, I've got a list of components together that I've checked up with for any compatibility issues but i'm new at this and would like some second opinions:

I'm looking at a budget of around £1000 and I've already got keyboard, mouse and operating system sorted.
I'm wondering if i should get 650W or 750W ?
If you's could give is any advice or other recommendations for components especially if you notice something isn't compatible it'd be much appreciated,
thanks

I have this mobo and cpu, both run perfect, highly recommended. Rest looks fine, possibly get AMD GPU, I prefer them, never had problems like when I did with Nvidia.. Running my 7950 xfx 3gb OC is dream
