No sense going for 120gb when 240gb costs a tiny amount more.

This is the build I would have chose although for the Ssd I would choose either SanDisk, Samsung, intel or Kingston hyperx.
Edit: also I would suggest a 650w over the 550W as the gpu is a power hog

Manufacturer states 600w or greater required. I would just be cautious to avoid potential problems as there isnt a great price difference between the two.
This would be a good alternative, if wattage is a concern.

Manufacturers always over-state their requirements
Still, if OP is concerned then spending a few more £s certainly won't hurt and will last a bit longer through a few upgrades
EDIT - actually, ignore all that. Dacads has linked a better one for you that is cheaper

Can't remember the last time I used an optical disc version of windows. Far quicker and easier from USB and you don't get those read errors that plagued many an installation media in my time.

Congrats. What did you go for in the end?
Hello
looks like the case can not handle the heat ?
it gets insanely hot, i have to use it with the side off, when it is under load, most of the heat seems to be from the gpu, so can someone spec me something better please, looking at a £60 ish budget, thanks
