Hi i am currently gaming on a low-mid eng pc and looking to upgrade i have chosen some parts:

Was wondering whether i have chosen the best parts possible for the build, would like to keep the price between £1200 but can make exceptions if needed.

if you do not heve an SSD, we can chop here and there a little to save up some money for an SSD.
1- you can get this PSU instead: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1850bbefx
same PSU, gold certified though, £30 less.
2- get this mobo: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/asrock-motherboard-z87extreme4
same capabilities, £35 less
3- get this case: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/nzxt-case-caph410b1
it is a mid-tower case, £115 less. unless you need that full tower case to meet some specific requirements.

you have £180 extra to get an SSD, you WILL notice great difference over the conventional HDD.

anyway the build is nice, it is up to you.

Yh i have HDD 2tb so im covered there but ive heard that SSD dont increase performance on games or its not really noticeable.



Ahh i'm going with the platinum PSU as my computer is usually on for most of the day, but i will definitely save money on the motherboard and the case was just personal preference i kind of fallen in love with it :D also gives me a lot of extra room for the future. I heard that though SSD are good for booting up the pc faster once u are in game and surfing the net ect the performance isnt really noticeable so would rather save the money as not to bothered about waiting for pc to start up if that is the case.

well, if the electricity bill is important, then ya go for the platinum.
the SSD, well ya you are right, but it feels nice when you have snappy access times or moving files around faster. i would consider it in future upgrades, you will love it.
the case, well, i cannot blame you, i fell in love with the phantom 410, and happily paid $235 for shipping only :').

good luck, a nice build you got there.

Very nice build you got here, an SSD isn't really too important it just helps process things quicker like loading screens on games etc. But nonetheless a very nice build you have here, are you planning to crossfire in the future I take it you are with that PSU?
