If you would require more information, please do say so so I can add it in.

This is a gaming build...?

But this is the PC Build I made from my own little research - not sure if it is good or bad >.<

I'm not sure on getting peripherals though.

Open to suggestions, thanks.

EDIT: I managed to decrease the price by around £60 - I got a 1TB HDD instead of the 3TB, since I don't really need that much. Also I upgraded the motherboard from the AsRock Z87 Pro3 to the Extreme4 which added some expense, but I decreased it some more by downgrading the 840 Pro Series 256GB SSD to the 840 Series 250GB, hopefully not noticing anything I could have experience (though this is my first time, I wouldn't know ;p)

[strike]EDIT2: Upgraded PSU from 600W to 750W for reliability and upgradability .[/strike]

But I would require some more insight if this is good for me :) Thanks

this will play any games....released or TBA on ultra @ 1080p... go for it (y)
p.s if you wanna reduce your budget.. dont change any parts.. just get some less expensive case..
because usually cabinet is the best thing to balance budget :p or even then its exceeding your budget..get a 2TB HDD..as this wont effect your performance... and it will come down to 1000£ ;)

What do you recommend in buying? I heard this case was very popular so I decided to pick it aswell.

EDIT: Also since you are right about the HDD, I won't be storing that mauch stuff - mainly prgrams on the SSD and stuff in the HDD, I'll be getting the 1TB version instead ;p

i suggest (as you said) go for 1TB so that you can manage this case in your budget ;) other then this...you can go for any cheaper case ,if you are very restricted to your budget..but i guess shifting from 3TB to 1TB would make the difference and you can get this case..its a decent case..Do mark the best answer if they helped you :)

Thanks but... because I'm new to this, I'm not too sure of it, the more I look into it, the more the possibilities of a different part opens up. So, I'm not too sure if this is right >.<

*sigh* Ok :p Though there is one question I would like to ask, what else do I get aside from these parts (Small things), I know I need to buy a thermal paste but, is that all?

The paste that comes with the evo is fine but could get arctic mx-4 or the like.

A cheap antistatic wrist strap is slways a good idea.

Zip ties or velcro straps for cable management.

Pie is always tasty whether building a pc or not. Note: do not get pie on the components.
