Spec me some hardware!

This is going to be a strange one..

I am currently looking for a new PSU, SSD, mouse, keyboard and case. My budget is around £300 - £400 but might go over.

atm I have:

GTX970
i7 4790k
8gb ddr3
550PSU

I reckon my PSU needs to be a little stronger, so might as well get a few other things at the same time.

Cheers!

What PSU is it that you have?

If its a good one then its fine.

Got a leeway % for how much over? May as well call your budget max £400 ± 10% or just say you can go to £500 etc.

For keyboard and mouse it depends on your playing style, and can actually be somewhat determined by how big your hand is (mouse hand that is) - if you have relatively small/medium hands I can recommend the Roccat Kone Pure as it's what I've got (Hellfire Red), works flawlessly, lightweight, much more comfortable than I'd initially thought it'd be.

KB - Roccat ISKU (I've got the FX model) again no qualms.

Tie all that together with an Crucial MX100 256GB SSD and that leaves ~£200 for Case and PSU (off a £400 budget)

Sorry about the late reply:

I am willing to spend about £500 but I am hoping not to.

I have a 550W coursair PSU, although it is quite old. I am a casual gamer, nothing to serious and do not play any MMO's or MOBA's.
