So I'm building a system, and my budget is £700. The rig will be used to run a minecraft server hence the 16Gb of RAM. I also do some rendering and graphics. This is the stuff that I've chosen from Imperial price does anyone have experience with the service at this site?
Does anyone have any recommendations for any hardware changes?

Storage - Sandisk Ultra Plus 256 GB SSD 2.5 £143.67
CPU - Intel ® Core ™ i5- 3570K £171.35
Motherboard - ASRock Fatal1ty Z77 Professional £155.30
Memeory - Crucial DIMM 16 GB DDR3-1600 Quad-Kit £64.17 PSU - OCZ Fatal1ty 750W £71.49
CPU cooler - Corsair Hydro Series H80i £72.49
DVD drive - Samsung SH-118AB/BEBE £10.23
Keyboard - Sharkoon Skiller £10.53

Total = £699.23

Cheers
Simon

750W is too much, a good 300 would be enough, a good 500-600 would be enough to allow it to be retasked with a gpu at a later date.

are you going to OC? if not then use a lower price board and cpu.
i'd consider a 128GB ssd and then a 1TB hdd for slightly slower storage.

never heard of that site, be wary.

Might overclock, but I haven't done it before.
I will be adding a gpu later so that's good if I can get a smaller psu and maybe one that has gold efficiency.
Will take you advice about the site and use a better one.

I mean I won't be overclocking out of the box, this is my first build so I'd like to do a fair bit of tinkering and learning, probably culminating in overclocking once I know the ins and outs.

What about aria, do you have any experience with that site as the retail 3570k comes in around £20 cheaper there every few weeks when it's on offer.

Cheers for the advise so far guys
