Hi Guys

I'm upgrade my MOBO/CPU/RAM and adding a new PSU to a new case. I wanted to check there wouldn't be any compatibility issues. Current system is :-

CPU - Intel Core i5 3570K @ 3.40GHz (Ivy Bridge 22nm Technology)
RAM - 8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 799MHz (10-10-10-28)
MOBO - ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. P8Z77-V LX2 (LGA1155)
GPU - GeForce GTX 1070
STORAGE - SAMSUNG SSD 850 500GB
OPTICAL DRIVE - TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-224BB
PSU - CORSAIR GS600

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £874.13 (includes shipping: £13.20)​
​
 
I think the Phanteks cases are better value for money (Enthoo Pro/Pro M etc), but if you are set on the 750D I would go with the one below for better airflow.

Everything else looks compatible although the psu is a bit pricey (Seasonic Focus Plus or Corsair RMx both cheaper). You could also look at buying the cpu/board/ram and cooler on their own and overclocking yourself to 4.6GHz. That way you could get 3000MHz ram and the Alpenfohn Brocken 3 instead.
