That's a good build. If you can, change to a R7 260X. It costs a little bit more, and is much more powerful.

For the case I would go with a Corsair 200R.

£400 is the hard limit, it was a struggle enough to convince him to spend that much. The parts listed above total £364.37, so once a case is added there will be pretty much no wriggle room for more spending unfortunately.

Wow,didn't think I could get a R7 260X under budget, and there are some nice little savings there. Thanks to both of you for your replies, think I'm just about ready to get these parts ordered.
