New member, First build! What are your thoughts?

B-Grade items are manufacturer's repairs or items we are unable to sell as new

So they are either back from repair (therefore working) or have been returned but not because of a fault. Something like that.

Anyway, i'm sure it'll work, and if it doesn't you can return it/get it repaired as you would with a new purchase :)

If you're really worried, these aren't much more expensive:

Right, I feel like I've been a bit all over the place with PSU! So I have decided that I'm not going for the BeQuiet PSU as I have been recommended to stay away! I am not going for the Nexus RX-6300 because they are fairly new and not many of them around so I don't want to be the first to write a review on how it broke after a week! The Corsair TX650 that I so wasn't a modular so that is off the cards. Which leaves me with a choice.

Coolermaster Silent Pro 600 Gold (Which I think is modular)
Coolermaster Silent Pro 600 (which is definately modular)
or
Coolermaster Silent Pro 500 (As my power calculation came up to 400W I could save myself some money by getting this one but it might be better to have more headroom?)

What do you think?

The difference in price is £26.00 between the cheapest and most expensive so their isn't much in it.

The gold is definitely modular, from here:

Flat modularized cables provide easy cable management leads to better airflow

You seem to like the Gold :P and it gets a good review :)

I guess the whole dont get an i7 get an i5 instead has already been convered elsewhere in the post

motherboard: Z68 > P67 > H67

H67 isn't really what you should be going for

Your not the first person to say this, but I don't see why not? It does everything I want it too and it's cheaper.

correct me if Im wrong but the H67 chipset doesnt give:

Intel Smart Response
Overclocking

Smart response can increase your load time of games by more than 100% with a 64GB SSD

I don't think so. I have no intention of overclocking anyway but would the load times affect other software as well?
