Cheers folks!
 
Have you already got a Mechanical HDD? If so I would drop the SSD for now to get you under the £600 mark and then add a better SATA 3 one later when you have some extra cash such as this one.

Some people on the boards have been having issues with PSU, you could switch it for this one.

Not worth going for a 1GB card anymore as some games are starting to go over that on high settings even at 1080p

Cheaper RAM, better SSD, otherwise all good :)

Could swap the i5 with an i3 if you REALLY want it at £600, but the i5 is better :p
