The build looks fine apart from the PSU and (more subjectively) the case.

I'd be sceptical of any modular PSU at that price. The Antec would be more reliable and most cases these days have space behind the motherboard for you to hide the cables.

As the Antec PSU is the same price as the Corsair (didn't notice it was the modular one), I'd personally spend the extra £10 on a nicer case.

Alternatively, if you could push the budget a bit you could get yourself a small SSD. Install your OS on there for a quicker, more responsive system: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-050-KS&groupid=701&catid=2104&subcat=910

The only problem is that from my last build my hard drive was 80gb and i have problems with it
I got a spare 1tb from the last one that i could reuse as my documents and games one
Also the case is vs-92 a nicer case?
Spec me a case pplease if not
Thanks
 
You can use the SSD for the OS and a few applications, and have the 1TB hard drive for everything else.
 
Looks to me like the Zalman has more cable management space behind the motherboard, so if that's a concern I'd go with the Z11.
 
Assuming that means it was the non-windowed version of the Alfar you were looking at, I'd say yes as it doesn't come with a front fan and I would have recommended you buy one. That would have nullified the price difference.
 
You could get an aftermarket cooler for your CPU. The CPU comes with one, but if you'll be overclocking you'll want something better.

Other than that it looks fine to me (assuming this PC will be used for gaming).

i wont be overclocking so soon to save cash, maybe in the future as i want to last long before and upgrade like my pentium 4 did for 9 years until it died doing a publisher work

and more suggestions?
