Hi, I'm a first-time Computer Builder and I'm wondering if you can give me advice/your thoughts on the PC I'm building before I finalize the build. I live in the UK and I am working on a £750 budget and I buy everything from amazon.co.uk. Here is a list of the parts I am thinking of using:

I need wireless, and I will be using this pc for Gaming and Graphic Design. :) Thank you

Everything looks solid to me , nice pick on an i7 for hyperthreading techonology . I wouldnt buy an after-market CPU cooler as you arent going to overclock so the stock cooler is fine. I would recommend you adding an SSD in your build it will help your computer a lot , u dont need a big SSD 120 GB will be fine

My reason for the cooler is due to the really hot weather we are getting in the uk :/

I didn't get an i7... and I definitely don't have enough money for an ssd :( that might be a future upgrade though.

I would do what he said with the H87 board. Also, I would make sure that case has high airflow for your components if you are worried about weather temps. I prefer open front back top and side cases. Also grab an internal adapter for your wireless, they get less hot and typically have better range.

yes that is one of my future upgrading options, the entire idea for this build is that as I get more money I could upgrade everything that needs upgradi g as time goes by, mainly the gpu, cpu, storage ect. But would you suggest getting the radeon hd 7870 right of the bat if I can afford it? would it make that much difference?
