Yesterday I asked about a build for around the £600 mark and I got a reference - thanks to woltej1 - which has become the guideline for my first build.
So I have been looking around and compiled this but I wanted to check compatibility and such, as well as a few other questions. This is what i made based on the recommendation:

Opinions would be great but I firstly wanted to know if I need a Wi-Fi adaptor (one is listed) since I currently have no way to hook up directly. Also, what type of case would be recommended? Corsair seem to be the best rated but even they have quite a range of models. Also, should get an aftermarket fan although I don't plan on overclocking, if that is even an option. I heard that the stock fan is fine if I don't want to overclock but is it worth getting anyway?
Just wanted to ask quickly would I need to buy extra SATA cables or anything for the build, other than what comes in the box?
Lastly, I have seen that there are so many different GTX 760 cards available, and I have no idea if this one is ideal. This statement goes for the memory too but it was what was advised when I asked before so I'm pretty sure if there are better alternatives it would be for budget purposes.
