Excuse me, there is a huge problem with this build.

The motherboard is ATX and won't fit in the Mini ITX case you have specced.

The PSU won't fit in the case either as it cannot accommodate one.

The motherboard and CPU will work but i don't understand why you've gone for a sandy bridge CPU and a H77.

Shall we start again, what budget do you have?

What case do you like?

EDIT: what are your uses? Do you need a big storage drive?

Thank you, that's why I didn't click buy! Been a long time since I've bought a PC things have changed a lot.

Budget of around £400-450. I have a copy of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit already.

Used in living room so something wife friendly would be nice for a case.

Sorry if I've picked the worst things ever!

Don't need loads of storage, want to play Minecraft and some other games but not all at once I mainly use Xbox. Have a NAS for any documents etc.

Brilliant. Its no problem, Its a good job you came and asked us. I was just a bit rattled by the advice the first poster gave. Oh well, this is what i have come up with.

Its a small case, with a small motherboard and a highly capable i3 CPU. You GPU should fit, it is single slot right?

WAY under budget, so have a look at other ITX cases if you like. Just make sure they have a place for a PSU.

EDIT: or a bigger SSD (double the size): http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-000-PL

Thanks - I already have W7, is it worth then getting an i5 for the future?

Appreciate the help!

Could be.

This would be my idea for TOP end of the budget.

Looks good to me,

though if its going in the living room it may get dusty. Id get an air filter for each fan (is there only 1?) something like this should do: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CM-021-AK&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=795

EDIT: Nice case choice by the way. :)
 
Picked it up today from OcUK as there was an error and it wasn't shipped last night.

The case is very very nice, such a tight squeeze though! I think I've managed to tidy my cables nicely, until you have to slide the PSU in!

I don't yet have a graphics card plugged in (using onboard) but I think I will try to find a decent (not too long!) card.

This is the first time I've used a machine of this spec and wow does it fly. Less than 10 minutes to install W7 from USB :o
