Spec me please

Really apologise for the constant dithering over this but if this gets the go ahead it will be getting ordered this weekend. Thoughts? Will the mobo/ram/psu be ok? Don't want to spend anymore than that on the PSU, are there any better ones out there for the money? Do I HAVE to go modular?

 
Ok excellent. Finally, the motherboard and RAM, would I be better off getting something better or will they do the trick? Only looking to play cs go but once i have the pc setup i'll no doubt want to try newer games as well every so often.

8GB of RAM is plenty (do you have a 64bit OS?)

As for the board, one with SATAIII ports would be more useful for the SSD.

Ordered the above. Finally :)
 
Set it all up today, not tested it fully yet (just downloading CS:GO whcih will take until the morning with my net). Seems snappy though, first computer with an SSD and it definately shows.

With it being so long since i've built a PC, i've installed the following so far:
  • drivers
  • windows update
  • flash player
  • steam
  • anti virus

Am I missing any crucial software?

Windows experience index gives the following scores:

Processor: 7.2
RAM: 7.5
Graphics: 7.9
Gaming graphics: 7.9
HDD: 7.7

That decent enough?
