I've been thinking about building my own PC for a while now and have finally put together what I think is a good list of components.I already have a case which is a CoolerMaster Elite 430 and a Monitor that will do for now, The rest of the components are listed here http://www.ebuyer.com/lists/list/324397 .I was just hoping some more experienced eyes could look upon it as I am understandably nervous although excited.If you have any preferences over the components I have listed and want to suggest them then I would prefer to get all of them from ebuyer.

I would like to keep the build under £600 (No monitor needed).

Many Thanks.

It's a little over budget but this is a great build.
