Looks ok, but with all that red+black I am not sure about the case+cooler choice.

Alpenfohn black matterhorn and a NZXT red+black S340 or H440 will look nice.
 
Hi;

Thanks, I have swapped over the PSU.

I agree the case is not ideal, but I want to keep hold of a DVD drive I have (to watch movies) and the NZXT cases don't have a ODD bay, but I am open to any other suggestions.

The GPU and Monitor are for 1440/27" which I had assumed was a step up, but again I am no expert... I have £100 left in my budget if I can do better?

Hi;

Things are looking better, I am now at this, but am not sure this is the screen to go for?
