I'm a technician myself but I'm no expert in building custom gaming PC, so I want to do it the best possible for the cash I have.

Anytime you over clock cpu/gpu and ram you see performance increase, the trick is balancing many factors such as cooling and case air flow. Doomspeed is a lot more knowledgable in these areas. but with something like the

You would be able to over clock cpu fine (choose this as i know its only 160mm tall) others such at mount doom and that could fit but again Doomspeed will keep you wright :)


Ram over clocking is way above my knowledge i noramly just get the speed i want eg 1600,2333 and so on

That at £72 is stretching my budget tough..
 
 
So by looking at that then comes into my mind of two options for the build if i'm correct.

First one is to go with a Corsair 350D along with Intel processor and micro ATX which will outpast my budget?

OR

to go with a midi tower and ATX board with AMD3 processor which will be slightly cheaper?

hmm I need to start measuring my desk space before chossing either one then..


Which would you go for?
 
I forgot to mention that I will be adding my wireless card to card in that case aswel. Is that graphics card any good Doom? Or shall I go for something bit more decent?
