I want to keep under £400 so how do I make this build cheaper? Im trying to find second hand ram and stuff, but I cant seem to see which one is good? I dont know which one is good. If there is cheaper or alternative that works the same please give me a link! That would be appreciated! Thanks

You can't spare the extra £26? Only place to really cut from is the GPU? I'm assuming you already have the board. Everything else is already pretty far down as low as I'd go. Do you have a hdd you can reuse? That's about the amount you need to save.

The CX isn't a top performer but it's not supposed to be. It's Corsair's budget/intro unit. As a 600W unit it has enough power for your setup. It seems a bit pricey to me but that's probably because I'm on the other side of the pond. You should be ok to use it, it's just not a top performer.
