he only needs a tower
doesnt need an OS, case or dvd drive

pretty much jus the bare essentials
mobo/cpu/cooler/psu/hdd/ram/gpu

he doesnt want a massive cooler as he isnt sure wether itl fit in his case but would also like to overclock his cpu a little

he has a budget of £700 no more

i5 2500k systems would be preferd unles theres something better you guys can come up with for his buget?

Prices have changed a little. And get a cooler later for overclocking. 128GB SSD. 7950 / better motherboard / PSU / 3570K / CPU cooler maybe without SSD, although SSDs are niiiice.
