Any thoughts or opinions on this? especially need advice on the memory and mobo
 
Any reason why you've gone down the 1156 socket route?

As opposed to the 1366?

You get triple channel memory. This would end up more expensive though.

But if thats what you want then yeah that's pretty god for that money tbh. If it was me I would spend 10 pound more and get an antec 300. Those cases got gooood airflow for the price.
 
Getting the 1156 socket just to save some cash, originally was planning to get an i5 so already spending more than i set out too.

Any reason why you would choose the ocz memory?

Any thoughts on the motherboard?
