I am getting a Case & PSU bundle from elsewhere as there are none really on OC, going for the Coolermaster CM690 II Lite with Coolermaster GX 650W PSU for £95, and picking up Samsung F3 1TB £42 HDD, and finally corsair xms3 DDR3 8GB RAM for £56 quid, oh and also going to get the Arctic 7 Cooler for the CPU. Does this all sound ok? Just wanted to make sure I'm not missing anything really obvious before I get the wallet out! I mainly want the PC for gaming, and standard surfing, watching movies and have it so that it will last as long as possible before upgrades are required!
Should I pick up a couple of extra fans for the case, or see how it goes to begin with? If so any good fans to recommend?
 
I have a copy of Win 7, and I have the LG DVD RW in the list for the optical.
The reason I like the look of the G700, is I used to have a logitech years ago, was happy with it, so sticking to the brand. Also I play the odd bit of WOW, and probably going to get into the new Star Wars MMO when its realised, so the extra buttons on the side is a nice plus for me, I know it is pricey for a mouse!
 
The CPU, monitor, RAM, DVD drive, HDD, GPU and OS are great. The mouse and keyboard I don't know a lot about so can't comment.

However, I would not suggest going for the case bundle with the GX 650W PSU (it just isn't a good PSU, have a look here). However, the case is a nice one, instead I would go for the case on it's own and pick up a nice quality PSU like this.

Also, the motherboard included in that bundle isn't the best option imho. Instead I would go for this one which is a great bit of kit at a nice price, here is a review.

The LG is a nice monitor, though I would suggest the Dell U2311H as a good alternative. It's not quite as responsive (though still plenty quick enough for gaming) and only 60Hz- but due to the E-IPS panel it uses it often looks much better that the LG (due to great colour accuracy and wide viewing angles- so no colour shifting when you move your head a bit).

Some really good case fans are the sharkoon 120mm 1000.
