So after many years of using the same system I decided to treat myself to a small upgrade. I managed to get hold of an Intel 3470 for free from a friend who upgraded to i7 2011 and needed a new mobo to host it.
In a fit of speed I ordered the below this week and is due for delivery shortly.
YOUR BASKET
1 x Gigabyte H77M-D3H Intel H77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Micro ATX Motherboard £76.99
1 x BitFenix Prodigy M MATX Cube Case - Midnight Black £64.99
1 x Avexir Core Blue Series 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Memory Kit (AVD3U16000904G-2CW) - Blue Light £59.99
Total : £201.97 (includes shipping : FREE).
I will be reusing the PSU I currently have (Corsair RX-550 i think) and my current GPU (Nvidia GTX260) for the time being. I also have 2 SSD's and a couple of large disks to put in the case too.
Can anyone spot any major issue? I am also looking to upgrade the GPU in the near future to a Nvidia 760 OC.

Will this card fit in the Prodigy M? Will my PSU run it without any issue?
I went for the H77 as I have no interest in overclocking and will just run everything stock anyway.
Probably should have written this before buying but oh well.
