That looks like a great build... one thing I would say though... pull the trigger on that ram now before the the OcUK staff get to work and update the calendar, I believe that ram is normally £80

[Doomedspeed]

You had a look at the asgard pro case? Thatd be my choice.

Otherwise. Bang on.

Don't forget a cooler. Budget (£15) and £30 option. The Asgard Pro Gaming Case is very good, too.

I went for the Asgard Pro case and the Xtreme Rev.2 cooler, should be here tomorrow nicely in time for a Christmas build!

I pulled the trigger on the RAM last night before I went to bed .

Thanks for the advice.

You will LOVE it. Silent as anything and idles my 2500k under 30. Also you got the perfect sized RAM for it.
The closest RAM slot to the CPU doesn't fit Corsair Veng RAM on my motherboard
