Hello, just planned out a PC on a low budget (£400 ish) and here's what I've come up with.
Can anyone let me know what they think and whether it all works/they would change anything?

Graphics Card:
PCIe 2.0 (x16)
-> Nvidia GTX 560ti
http://www.scan.co.uk/products/1gb-msi-gtx-560-40nm-4000mhz-gddr5-gpu-810mhz-shader-1620mhz-336-cores-2-x-dvi-i-mhdmi-plusfree-batm (£143.47)

Motherboards:
-> Socket 1155, PCIe 2.0 (x16), DDR3, SATA III, ATX

http://www.scan.co.uk/products/gigabyte-ga-ph67-ds3-b3-intel-h67-s-1155-ddr3-sata-iii-6gb-s-raid-sata-pcie-20-(x16)-vga-on-board-at (£62.00)

Processors:
-> Socket 1155
http://www.scan.co.uk/products/intel-core-i3-2120-s1155-sdy-bridge-33ghz-5gt-s-hd2000-igp-850mhz-3mb-cache-core-r-33x-65w-retail (£94.92, i3)

Memory:
-> DDR3 1333Mhz

Hard Drives:
-> SATA II or III
http://www.scan.co.uk/products/500gb-seagate-st500dm002-barracuda-sata-6gb-s-7200rpm-16mb-cache-85ms-ncq (£69.83, 500GB)

but this needs a contribution from Ben’s pocket money

Case:
-> ATX
http://www.scan.co.uk/products/colors-it-2016b-black-mid-tower-case-steel-2x-usb-20-atx-micro-atx-w-o-psu (£16.74)

Power Supply:

Anyone got any thoughts?
Ignore the part about pocket money, was an error on my part as I copied the details from an email.

Is that only when you plan on overclocking it makes a massive difference? I did go for what I'd like to call 'an expensive, cheap one' in the plan.. but then the branded ones like Corsair and that seem to double in price..

Made a couple of changes to the build

Already have a SATA hard drive, and as the prices on them are really high at the moment because of that big factory/warehouse flood or whatever happened.. I'm going to postpone the purchase of a bigger hard drive.

Changed the case to this one:

potentially looking at this power supply:
