I've been reading all of the other Spec me threads and drawing info from them... seems to have worked

I have nothing to suggest, its just a fine selection of parts.

It's matt black, build log wise... you might do, it's my first 'proper' build, I'll probably be asking for help though

I've done my research by taking apart the PC my dad had in 2000, it had IDE cables and a 'groundbreaking' floppy disk drive

oh rounded ide cables the bling!
i think u shuld!, tho try not to drool over that psu

The PSU does look nice, I'll probably add another 670 when my current one starts to struggle which should be a while, although with a 120Hz screen I could push it up, hence the 760w and Z77x mobo
