hi everyone this is going be my first build , so please be patient and what not , cause god knows this will probably end up all wrong lol.
Anyways im looking to try and build a fairly mid tier gaming PC with a budget all together of around £800. I will be cannibalising one or two parts from my old system to use on the new system. So here it goes , alot of stuff is missing so if you know of any parts that i have missed or should use please please do help.
CPU: Have looked at a few different Intel processors and have come to the conclusion that the i5 3570k is the best avaliable
£180

Motherboard: Ok so have tried to find a decent mother board that has got a few PIC slots and alot of accesability so settled on the Gigabyte Z77
£80

RAM: The motherboard only has dual architecture and can support up to 32gb , but i belive that should be enough for what my budget is looking at? So have gone with the Corsair 16gb DDR3 Sticks, (2x8) and will be getting 2 of them to fit the four ram slots on the motherboard.
£91 + £91 = £182

Graphics Card: Ok so here i have stolen my Geforce GTX 570 HD from my current system and will slit that into place , also i belive with the mother board i should have space for another additioanl GTX 570 HD in future , when and if i want to have dual graphics cards?
Case: Have kind of fallen in love with the look of the Phantom 410 white tower it looks awesome and is not extremly expensive at around £80
£80

As for all the rest of the components I am kind of at a crossroads as i have no idea about cooling systems and what not so any help would be mightily appreciated.
Kind Regards

You dont need 16GB of RAM if your just gaming. That 570 will last a decent time. You also wouldnt need that cpu cooler unless your overclocking
