£750 Computer Build - Feedback needed

[Seddon15]

Firstly i'd like to say i've never even attempted to build a computer before, all these parts were chosen upon research and use of these forums, so some compatibility issues may arise! I'd just like to know if these parts are optimal for what i need it for, predominantly World of Warcraft, and various steam games, looking to run them at medium-high, alongside casual word processing and general university stuff (nothing intensive aside from the gaming).

Around the £800 mark is what i'm looking for price wise, so if anyone can suggest places to trim off £50 it'd be much appreciated, however if any parts desperately need upgrading in this build then the price is flexible, it's just more of a guide.

The parts are as follows:
CPU: Intel Core i5 3570K 3.4GHz Socket 1155 6MB (intend on OCing)
Mobo: Asus P8Z77-V PRO Z77 Socket 1155 8 Channel HD Audio ATX Motherboard
Graphics Card: Asus GTX 660 Ti DirectCU II OC 2GB GDDR5 Dual DVI HDMI DisplayPort PCI-E Graphics Card
Memory: Crucial 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600Mhz Ballistix Sport Memory Kit CL9 (9-9-9-24) 1.5V
SSD: MZ-7td250bw - Samsung 840 SSD
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8 64-bit
Opical Drive: Liteon Ihas124 24x Dvd±rw (dual ±r)/ram Sata Drive (internal Black)
Case and PSU: Coolermaster K350 Case and Elite 500W PSU Bundle

Any feedback will be HUGELY appreciated, as a side note im pretty set on an SSD over a HDD, was deciding between a 120GB SSD for the OS and a 1TB HDD for everything else or a 250GB SSD on it's own (as you can see i went with the 250GB SSD, feel free to suggest otherwise).

Thanks for any replies, Alex

I'm not big on PSUs, but is Elite a reputable manufacturer? A cheap PSU could jeopardize all of your other components, or introduce instability when overclocking.

It looks like a nice build to me, other than that. What CPU cooler are you planning on going for?

Ill be honest i had no idea what to go with regarding PSU and CPU Cooling. I chose the Coolermaster based on eBuyer reviews saying that it was a reasonably sound case and the PSU was included, i still doubt if 500w is enough for the build though so was hoping for feedback on that.

For a CPU Cooler i was looking at going with the Enermax ETS-T40, steering away from water cooling simply due to the price.

Any help for a PSU and case would be massively appreciated though!

Have just had a quick look - I misread your OP RE: the PSU; I was assuming it was from a brand named Elite rather than being a Cooler Master product.

A little investigation on the PSU info article (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/power-supply-oem-manufacturer,2913.html) and some googling leads me to conclude that it's probably an ok PSU.

HOWEVER it only has one 6-pin PCIe connector, and the 660Ti uses two. So, you'll need a different PSU. Personally I'd go looking at Corsair/Seasonic's lineups - but you will need to make sure that you have those two connectors!

For a case, it's pretty much just personal preference. Your ram doesn't have giant heatsinks, so you shouldn't need to worry about fitment issues with your cooler.

660Ti isn't enormous, so should fit most cases, though always a good idea to double check the length of the card vs the length the case supports.

Hope this helps a bit!

Edit to add: The 660Ti will fit in the K350.

Thank you so much! I'll get looking into better PSU's then for the 660ti

Do you think the CPU cooler will be sufficient for the build?
