Spec check please

Hi all,

I'm after a new computer to build from scratch. I've got a copy of windows and a mouse - that's it.

I've got a circa £1,200 budget and have put the below together.

Any suggestions for improvements?

Many thanks.

Sorry, meant to say that i'm in no means wedded to the keyboard or monitor - just seemed like good deals. I'd like to add another monitor in the future.

Thanks a lot. Any advice on which monitor? Far too much choice!

Also, will the 390x fit in either of those cases?

After a little more research the below is a revised spec - could you do a final check to see if all looks okay?
