First gaming build help

[pogost]

I have recently bought a mac and wish to build a PC to play all of my old games and a few new ones e.g. SWTOR and Skyrim on, and any recommendations to improve my rig up to around £700 are fully welcome. I would prefer to use amazon or ebuyer for my parts as I am from the UK.

This would be a better choice for motherboard: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Asus-P8H77-V-Motherboard-Support-CrossfireX/dp/B007KZQEGW/ref=sr_1_3?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1338927857&sr=1-3

Your expansion options will be quite limited with mATX, a full ATX board and you won't run into those problems.

Also get the 3450 for your CPU: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-FC-LGA12C-i5-3450-Processor-Cache/dp/B007RMH0MU/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1338927986&sr=1-1

And then for case get this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Antec-Three-Hundred-Midi-Case/dp/B0017Q8IAA/ref=sr_1_6?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1338928011&sr=1-6

I can agree with g-unit on everything but the case option. I would reccommend this case instead for improved wire management and overall awesome. I used three of these... http://www.amazon.co.uk/NZXT-SOURCE-210-ELITE-Midi-Tower/dp/B005869J4O/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1338938412&sr=1-1

I like NZXT don't get me wrong but on sub-$800 builds I like the HAF 912 because it has a lot of features that you just can't get for the price (like mounts for the H100, SSD mounting bracket, cable management and CPU retention) and the European version has the clear door and red LED fan.
