Hi everyone just a quick question about a new build that i'm doing. I was just wondering if all these parts would work or ifnot could you recomend some different parts instead. I don't need a monitor, a copy of windows, a keyboard and mouse and graphics card as i've already got one from OcUK a gtx 780 ti and the other parts from other shops. I havn't listed a CPU or PSU as i'm waiting for devils canyon to come out and a psu as i'm not sure which one to go for. The current parts that I have picked are

1 x Samsung 256GB SSD 840 PRO SATA 6Gb/s Basic - (MZ-7PD256BW) £164.99
1 x Gigabyte Z97X-SOC Force Intel Z97 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard **Overclockers UK Exclusive** £154.99

You're overspending a bit on the SSD and the cooler. The PRO is not noticeably faster than the Samsung EVO, which is £45 cheaper. The OcUK cooler is significantly more expensive than other 240mm AIOs such as Corsair's h105 and h100i.

The cooler you get will come with thermal paste, so you don't need to buy that separately.

For the PSU: it depends whether you want room to add another GPU in the future. If not, a good 650w model will suffice (something by Superflower, Seasonic, etc). If yes, get an 850w or higher unit.

What will the PC be used for? If it's just gaming you'll be fine with 8gb RAM.
 
ok thanks for the answers the PC will be used primarily for gaming and also a bit of photoshop and I didn't see the EVO drive when I was getting the specs for my new build. PSU wise i'm not sure weather I want to add another GPU but would like to future proof if I decide to at a later date.
