Hello, new to the forum and building PCs! Just looking for some advice on whether the parts I've tentatively selected would work together and give me what I'm after - also looking for advice on graphic cards and power supply/case.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Approximate Purchase Date: hopefully over the next week or two (depending on whether my selections work or I need to rethink!)

Are you buying a monitor: Yes

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: ebuyer.com, but am flexible

Haven't decided on a graphics card and was looking for suggestions for a card that works well for gaming but won't push me too far over budget (some of the above can be reduced to compromise for a slightly better graphics card)
As for the power supply and case, I had found this one:
CM Storm Scout + Coolermaster Silent Pro 700W Modular PSU
http://www.ebuyer.com/177749-cm-storm-scout-coolermaster-silent-pro-700w-modular-psu-special-offer-sgc-2000-kkwp1-gp
but I was unsure of how much wattage I would need with my components and if the space is enough?
Was also interested in SLI/crossfire but don't know much about either of them, or whether that would work with the motherboard I've chosen.
Haven't yet looked into monitors.
Have I missed anything? Any suggestions and improvements would be much appreciated,
thanks alot!
