So I'll be using this build for gaming mostly. I won't be doing much else on it, maybe a little streaming at times.

I'd really appreciate it if someone could look through this build to tell me if all the parts are compatible and if the PSU is big enough to support the system.

Looks like you put some thought into the colour scheme yet while the Tri-X cooler on that GFX card is amazing, its orange and doesnt really fit in
 
And too really annoy you, the weekly offers have changed some some items are now back to their full price while others are cheaper.

Ha, yes I noticed that just as I went to place the order, which sent me over budget so I couldn't actually afford my order. Luckily a few things went slightly down too, so I changed my order a little and went with this.

This will leave me with just over £60 left of my £1000 budget so I can pay OC to build it for me. Budgeting within 12p of my limit =D.
 
Where is the ssd? I woulve replaced that case with a bitfenix ronin which imo is better and cheaper, gone with an ssd and watched youtubes videos on how to put a pc together, i too had doubts and fear of doing it myself but its really easy and addictive lol, like lego for kids
 
Yes I dont get it how people can buy parts and then pay someone to build it, Its fun and don't require that much skills to do it ur self, u can be proud of ur achievement as well
 
I've just have a bit of a crush on the Phantom ever since I saw it, if I'd have noticed the Ronin I'd have probably looked into it as it looks pretty sweet too. I'm a little scared building computers ever since I bent the pins on my CPU trying to change the heat sink =/.

Someone used it in a build recommended to me on the forums so I thought I'd go with it. Is there something wrong with that type of board?
Click to expand...

No problems its just normally you for the board to your case (upto ATX). As there was no reason for you not to have an atx board its seems an odd choice.

On the other hand you now gave the option to get a 350D. :)
