Hey there, this is my first post on here but it would be much appreciated if someone was to give me some feed back on this, don't really want to spend any more than £800 just wondering if this is a good build for the price and weather anyone has any better alternatives for the same price range

Intel Core i5 3570K Unlocked 3.40GHz Ivy Bridge Quad Core 6Mb Cache LGA1155 Processor - £147.49
Coolermaster HAF XM USB 3.0 Midi Tower E-ATX ATX Case - £91.63
Ezcool Ambiance 80+ 800W 80+ Efficiency Dual 12V Rail PSU, Retail Box - £37.49
Samsung SH-S222BB 22x SATA Dual Layer DVD-Rewritable Black- £9.79
Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler - £20.79
Crucial 128GB SSD m4 Slim 7mm 2.5inch Solid State Drive SATA 6GB/s - £78.90
Asus P8Z77-V Intel Z77 Socket 1155 DDR3 ATX Motherboard £117.88

Everything except the PSU looks good. Make sure you get a quality power supply because if it dies and fries your parts, you will be one unhappy camper. I suggest Corsair, some of the XFX, and Seasonic (look for 80+Silver and up IMO) You don't need more than 600W unless you plan on getting a second video card later for SLI.

Yeah, I second the suggestion about getting a quality PSU. Like elyaman said, Corsair, Seasonic, Antec are usually the top brands. I have heard some XFX models are good too.

Don't forget a monitor, keyboard, and mouse if necessary.

That RAM is good (I had some Kingston HyperX DDR2 for many years with no problems), but I tend to recommend G.Skill memory for their great support.

2x4GB is less strain on your processor memory chip so I'd recommend you go with 2x4GB. The Antec 300, Rosewill Challenger, and Lian Li Lancool First Knight cases are all cheaper with good airflow.
