Ok guys, i already have an i5-2500K and an mATX P67 mobo (from about 2 years ago).
I have sourced a really cheap 7770 (£40~ !!) and am more than happy with the performance of the 7770.
and am looking to upgrade my case, ram, PSU, HDD and optical drive.
I would like it to be small, so it'd be an mATX build.
Overclocking? Not really, but i have the option if i need it with my P67 mobo.
SLI/Crossfire? No, my mobo doesnt support it anyway.
I am a student, so need pretty much the cheapest stuff really
Looking through this is the cheapest i could find:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks
Memory: Mushkin Essentials 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1333 Memory (£30.01 @ Amazon UK)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£46.80 @ Aria PC)
Case: Zalman ZM-T2 MicroATX Mini Tower Case (£19.14 @ Dabs)
Power Supply: XFX 450W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply (£34.99 @ Maplin Electronics)
Optical Drive: Samsung SH-224DB/BEBE DVD/CD Writer (£12.86 @ Amazon UK)
Total: £143.80
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

Is there any real gaming performance advantage with 1333Mhz and 1600Mhz ram?
my budget is under £170, but if you know a cool mATX case then that would be useful
Thanks for your help in advance.
