this is what I have so far for my new system. just looking for advice to see if everything's OK. i'm missing a few parts like the psu, processor (waiting to see if ivybridge is any good), cpu cooler, extra case fans etc. if anyone could help me fill in the blanks that would be much appreciated :)

What is your top end budget and what will the main use of the system be?

Below £1200 would be nice. Not sure how much it's going to come to with the CPU added.

It'll be used for gaming mostly. I would like it as quiet as possible hence the 550D. I'm not brave (or rich) enough to attempt/afford watercooling.
 
Just a bit over, but get a few more posts and you can get free delivery!

The IB should be around the same price as this i5 I'd guess :)

Unless you particularly want to buy more, the case will come with 3 fans which will be plenty
