Repost, Sorry.
The total is £792.61.
I'll be using it for BF4, Gary's mod.
Sometimes recording.
Animation often.
And rarely video editing.

Everything looks great!

There are only 2 things I noticed.

1. There are conflicting reports of *some* of the Hyper 212 Evo's not fitting in that case.

2. I would suggest going with 1866MHz RAM instead of the 1600MHz.

 

[Sinizo]

What RAM would you suggest? ATM I'm trying to stick to a budget.
What do you think of the GPU?

 

[itzdanielp]

For $400 you really can't get a better GPU.


RAM, something similar to this shouldn't be too much more than the one you chose. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233184
