Good Evening, I'm getting a new computer soon, as soon as my christmas bonus pay comes in. I've never built one before but it sounds and looks interesting and I will get a better deal.

My budget is around the £800 mark and I have been researching for a few days and come up with the following. I mostly play Minecraft and Football Manager, but also a bit of Starcraft & Total War.

I already have another 1tb hard drive from my current computer that I can use, and I have a copy of Windows 7 as well.

Is there anything else that I would need or anything that could be improved or anything?
I am interested in OverClocking although I have never done it before I would like to have a go.
The total price of the above comes to £767

Thankyou very much everyone
