So i'm thinking of getting a new computer after having my current one for about 7-8 years, what do you think of this build : http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/gwZJmG

I'm gonna have a gtx660 2gb a friend has given me, and i have access to a new 800w supply. I can get a cheap harddrive soon

Id love to hear any and all feedback, simply due to the fact i need all the advice I can get :)

also, if anyone can recommend a good case, that'd be really helpful

Hey, your build looks great, but if your using a z87 chip, theres no point getting a z97 motherboard, get a z87 one instead. For the memory, getting a 1600mhz memory would be enough. And for the ssd, I would suggest you to get a Samsung 840 EVO, it has super fast read/write.

If you want a full tower, a good case is the Phanteks Enthoo Pro, good looking, great airflow and great price.
