Update time!

I've bought my 750W PSU because it was low in stock. 1 part down, many more to go.

I've also switched from the 660ti to the 660 because it's a lot cheaper (nearly £100 difference) and it's apparently not worth paying all that money for it. I plan to upgrade my graphics anyway at a later date when I need to. Probably in a few years when games before a lot more demanding.

:
I would recommend you invest in a gaming case that isn't CiT. In my experience they are flimsy, noisy and do not have very good airflow. Maybe a Corsair, Cooler Master or even the Casecom 6788 All Black (cheap but absolutely fantastic for the price).
I took your post very seriously and I spent ages searching for a new one. I have seen a Cool Masters case that looks very nice. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Coolermaster...tower+atx+case but it's pretty expensive, nearly £70. Is it worth it? I only really considered the CiT because it looks really nice and it's cheap. And according to reviews, is worth the money.

I've changed my RAM to this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

Still unsure about the Motherboard, but I think it's fine.

and unfortantly, the listing for the i5 finished on Ebay, so I need to spend £20 extra for it. (unless something else pops up)

Thanks for your help people! I should have it finished before the end of July.
