Would you change anything?

My plan on doing a little upgrade has developed in to a new PC. I didn't want to spend so much but those bits soon add up don't they?

How does this build look?

I've been out of the PC gaming scene for a while now, so I'm not too sure if this will fit my needs. Would I be able to add a SSD later with that MB?

I will be gaming at 1920 x 1080, and a wide range of games.

I'd also like to try and overclock it when i've built up the courage, so any advice on a good cooler?

The pre-built systems look tempting, but I love new boxes and building them myself.

Thanks for looking

Good coolers:

Nero S

Titan Fenrir

Akasa Venom

Read a few reviews and pick the one you like the look of the most.

Retail version of Win 7 means you'll be able to change the motherboard without any issues if needs be at any point.

Yeah, Retail Win 7, and a 3rd party cooler. Looking good.

You need a cooler, other then that, pretty good.

Thanks for the replys guys.

So you can't just phone MS up if you change anything like you could with XP?
