Power supply is way over specced for a single gpu system.

As for ram, I suppose you'd have to look into the softwares requirements, and if it will utilise more than 16gb, I'd hazard it could so I'd go for a lower power psu and put the money saved into a 32gb ram kit.

That cooler is pretty pricey too, are you going to be overclocking it to the limits? If not I'd go with something cheaper.

Potential for second GPU later (850W EVGA is more expensive atm).
I'll look at other AIO's and RAM.
cheers.

Dont bother with the gaurantee overclock cpu the normal 7700k boosts to 4.5ghz and will easilly hit 4.7ghz. Think i would pay an extra £10 and get the corsair rmx with a 10 year warranty.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Corsair RM Series RM1000X '80+ Gold' 1000W Modular Power Supply (CP-9020094-UK)= £159.95

I wouldn't buy the EVGA G1. It's a FSP built unit and not as good as the Superflower units which is why it's cheaper. It also only has a 5 year warranty compared to the Superflower built G2 and G3 units 10 years. I would either go for the cheaper Corsair RM850x, EVGA Supernova G3 850w or pay the extra tenner for the Corsair RM1000x or £15 for the EVGA Supernova G3 1000w all of which have 10 year warranties and are better psu's.

Cpu was the same price but I see the standard one has been reduded. Thanks.
10yr warranty also a good call.
