Would add a 60/120GB SSD into that if you can?

I would get rid of that heap of junk PSU and get a better PSU, go with Corsair, XFX, BeQuiet or Antec.

Not sure about the PSU. I would get a more reputable one. (Antec, Corsair, XFX, OCZ, Be Quiet).

Low profile RAM, so it fits under the bigger CPU coolers.

Think there are better CPU coolers than the Freezer 7 for not much more.

Case is up to the user, looks good on the inside, but not keen on the outer shell.

EDIT

Beaten again.

On a side note, can you alter how long the forums time out and log you off?

Sorry double post.

What kind of budget have you got?

I'd be tempted to go for this:

YOUR BASKET
1 x KFA2 GeForce GTX 670 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £299.99
1 x Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - Retail £173.99
1 x **B Grade** Gigabyte Z77-D3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £60
1 x Samsung 64GB SSD 830 Desktop Series SATA 6Gb/s KIT with Norton Ghost - (MZ-7PC064D/EU) £59.99
1 x OCZ ZS Series 550W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £49.99
1 x **B Grade** Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB SATA 6Gb/s 16MB Cache - OEM (HD-252-SE) £40
1 x BitFenix Outlaw Gaming Case - Black £36.98
1 x TeamGroup Elite 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (TED38192M1600HC11DC) £35.99

1 x OcUK 22x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM £15.98
Total : £806.40 (includes shipping : £11.25).

An SSD, is a great addition to the system. Feel free to change the case and cooler, but i picked them to keep the price reasonable.

Otherwise, you could do this: Cheaper than your original build.

Just the tower?

Or do you need OS, keyboard, mouse, monitor?
