PC Build parts - opinion?
Last response: in Systems
Hello!
I have put together most of the parts to make a small, but powerful gaming PC, but before buying everything I'd like to hear other people's opinion of them.
What type of PC am I trying to make?
I'm trying to make a small, but powerful gaming PC that can handle most, if not all modern PC games on full settings, I will be using our 55" TV, so it'll be more of a PC gaming console kinda thing, using the Logitech F710.
The list:
Motherboard:

Graphics Card:

Power Supply:

Cooling System:

CPU:

I haven't finished quite yet, still need to look for a blu-ray drive and a TB drive.
Any and all opinions welcome,
thanks in advance.

More about : build parts opinion
For a gaming rig X79 isn't needed. Go with Z77 instead. I'm not the biggest fan of Xigamtek and I really question their PSUs. Are you sure that case will fit a 690?
What's the budget here?
Maybe try something like this:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor (£161.99 @ Amazon UK)
CPU Cooler: Corsair H80 92.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler (£69.56 @ Ebuyer)
Motherboard: Gigabyte G1.Sniper M3 Micro ATX LGA1155 Motherboard (£119.99 @ Overclockers.co.uk)
Memory: G.Skill Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory (£49.99 @ Overclockers.co.uk)
Storage: Samsung Spinpoint F4 2TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive (£76.12 @ Dabs)
Storage: OCZ Vertex 4 256GB 2.5" Solid State Disk (£153.90 @ Scan.co.uk)
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 680 2GB Video Card (£407.62 @ Scan.co.uk)
Case: Fractal Design Define Mini MicroATX Mini Tower Case (£65.66 @ Amazon UK)
Power Supply: SeaSonic Platinum 860W 80 PLUS Platinum Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply (£164.99 @ Overclockers.co.uk)

(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)
Normally I'm against closed liquid coolers but in such a tight space you might not have room to work with large fans.
