Looking for someone to give me a list of hardware components for a gaming computer, with the focus being on graphics and processing power. A handy list of;

PSU + Chassis (not Mini chassis)
CPU
GPU
Motherboard
Processor (with aftermarket cooler, if possible)
RAM
& additional fans.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thank you for your response, are all parts verified as being compatible together?. Just to be sure, as I would be going ahead to buy these parts in the next few days.

Same build, different/better memory kit, 1.5v. Previous memory kit was 1.65v(too high, indicate for poor quality), pretty bad for 1600mhz.
Yes, all parts are verified, you can check it yourself, pcpartpicker didn't find any problem.
The GPU will fit in the case. This PSU has enough power to feed the system.
