A few things,

Win10 on USB stick as theres no where for a DVD drive with this case.

Modular PSU as being a smaller case it may help.

8GB is fine for gaming, ditched the sound card as you may find onboard sound sufficient.
 
Thank you Stulid, this may seem like a silly question but will I have to order these as parts or can I use OCUK's pc configurator tool to get the entire bundle?

Thanks again :)
 
OK thank you, but since I have been known to **** up several pc builds at work before, is it possible for OCUK to build and I pay a charge for it?. Becuase I don't feel confident with putting the PC together with hardware that (for me) is quite expensive to mess up with. Thanks in advance

They can and there is a fee, you would have to ask customer services specifically if they will.

I did see it rumored that its around £60 for a simple PC, so this one with GFX card etc might take you to your max budget.
 
I would just like to say it's probably a bad idea to squeeze a case into your opening just slightly bigger than the desktop.

It wouldn't do you any good in regards to temperatures.
