No need to start a new thread bud.

Avoid cheap and nasty psus like the one you selected.

Why mini itx?

Buy the individual components yourself rather than that bundle. For example why an i5 2500K and H67 motherboard?

Something like this. Case is personnel, iput in the Bitfenix just as an alternative.
As shadow-boxer has rightly said, don`t skimp on the PSU.
Does your monitor have a HDMI connecter?

Link doesn't work, looks like it's been removed.

Shadow - I assume you mean Buy an i5 2500k and H67 :confused:

Burnsb0y - Definitely DO NOT buy a £20 PSU.

Andi.
 
The Gigsbyte board only has a HDMI port for the onboard graphics. If your monitor does not spport HDMI, then you will have to get a board with vga. Can you let us know what connecters your monitor has or the make and model.
Do you have any sata harddrives and optical drive?

Only one problem, you will need to buy a GPU. The mobo does not have any monitor connection ports.
