I'd also consider changing the PSU.

With a different powersupply, you can save even more and at no cost of performance,

Thanks for the reply.

I will look into these changes before i buy tonight!

Yes I've changed my mind on the case and decided to invest in a quality Full Tower.

1 x Corsair Obsidian 750D Full Tower Case - Black (CC-9011035-WW)= £134.99

Unless you're planning to do a custom waterloop with 10Tb of HDD full tower is unnecessary.

Better value for your money would be

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Phanteks Eclipse P400 Midi Tower Case - Gun Metal Window= £58.99
• 1 x Corsair Carbide 400C Midi Tower Gaming Case - Black Window (CC-9011081-WW)= £89.99
• 1 x NZXT Source 340 Midi-Tower Case- Black Window= £64.99
• 1 x NZXT H440 New 2015 Edition Case - Matte Black= £99.95

Total: £347.46
(includes shipping: £33.54)

But at end of day, you need to look at the case from a day to day basis. You need to be happy. I just don't think you'll utilise all that space.
