Already found these components but I'll accept any recommendations.

Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB)

Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Case: Corsair 300R ATX Mid Tower Case << Not too sure about this one. Link : http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-case-300r

Those are all the components I have. Feel free to change them to suggest me better ones. Still need GPU, Optical Drive, Motherboard, etc. If you can help me, thanks so much.

Not the best GPU, but it's workable for a while, and gives you a solid CPU foundation, on the latest platform.

For another 70quid or so, you could have a GTX 960 4GB, which would give you a well-rounded rig.

You don't specifically mention an OS, so you could drop that and add the GTX 960.
