Hi

Yes everything will work together, but I would suggest getting a better power supply, as the Corsair CX is not really suited for this type of build.

The XFX XTR is a much better unit for £10 more. It is made by Seasonic who are one of the best manufacturers. It also has a hybrid fan mode so it can run silent under lower loads.

The MSI GTX 970 is £30 less and it will also fit in with the Red/Black theme.

The Samsung 850 EVO is £15 cheaper and you get an extra 20GB of space.

Total: £503.07
(includes shipping: £11.10)

Do you have a cpu cooler ? The stock one will get a bit noisy under load.
 
Thanks mate the power supply I am never sure , I am unsure about the cooler maybe just retail one but was thinking of taking the plung with water cooling one of the NZXT kraken maybe ?

Do you plan on overclocking ? The high end Water coolers such as the NZXT X61, or Corsair H105,H110 etc would be a bit of a waste otherwise.

A £30-£40 air cooler will perform as good as the smaller NZXT X31/X41 coolers.
 
Not yet no , I will be gaming but would only look at overclocking once it started to struggle to run games , I don't insist on max settings but I do on 60 fps min lol :)

I would go with a cheap air cooler then. The Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo is very good for the money. The Alpenfohn Matterhorn Pure Edition would have been my 1st choice but it is out of stock at the moment.
