Hello all,

I've been out of the game for a bit and have decided to build a new machine as my relic died on me a little while ago.

I've been scouting about what i'd like and have come up with the following spec:

Zalman Z11 Plus High Performance Mid Tower Case
£47.98
Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 AMD 990FX (Socket AM3+) DDR3 Motherboard (THIS WEEK ONLY ON OCUK)
£89.99
AMD FX-6350 Socket AM3+ 3.9GHz 14MB Cache Retail Boxed Processor
£97.25
Corsair 8GB DDR3 1600MHz XMS3 Memory
£62.98
Powercolor Radeon R9 270X DEVIL 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (THIS WEEK ONLY ON OCUK)
£161.99
Sandisk 128GB Pulse SSD Slim
£58.95
Seagate 1TB Barracuda Internal Hard Drive (THIS WEEK ONLY ON OCUK) £41.99
OcUK Professional 2.5" to 3.5" SSD Adaptor Plate - Black
£5.99
Corsair CXM 750W Semi Modular 80+ Bronze Power Supply
£69.99
Windows 8.1 DVD OEM- 64- Bit
£72.82
Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013
£17.95
Liteon Ihas124 24x Dvd±rw (dual ±r)/ram Sata Drive (internal Black)
£11.79
Liteon Ihas124 24x Dvd±rw (dual ±r)/ram Sata Drive (internal Black)
£11.79
EXDISPLAY LG IPS224V 21.5" LED LCD HDMI Monitor
£89.97
Gigabyte M6900 3200DPI Gaming Mouse
£16.99
Ozone Ground Level Medium Gaming Surface
£8.99
Logitech G105 Gaming Keyboard
£29.06

It totals to £896 (the Office software is through work hence why it's cheap). If someone would be so kind to see if this would be decent (and actually work) for the money i'd be very grateful; i'd rather not go over £900 for the lot if possible.
Many thanks,
Tom
 
Why 2 DVD drives?

The power supply is hugely over-specced. A quality 500W+ supply will be more than enough. Look at the Superflower units.

Get a third party cooler for the CPU as the stock ones are ridiculously loud.
 
It was just in case I felt the need to do any disc to disc copying; not essential I guess but they are cheap enough not to really worry about it.

Cool thank you; I wasn't sure what wattage I needed so went for that - I will have a look at those.

I will also have a look at 3rd Party coolers; something like the Arctic Cooler Freezer 7 looks decent?

Thanks for you help, I appreciate it :)
