Hi,
I want to build a solid gaming rig for under £1000 that will last a while. So far I have seen the below parts that I and *think* is along the lines of what I'm after. However, this only leaves £100 for a monitor and wireless adapter (have mouse and keyboard and will probably be able to use my old case). Obviously this is not enough, but I do have more I can spend if I get bang for my buck.
The main elements I'm pretty lost on is the cost benefits of exchanging in better or worse of the following components:
1. Graphics card
2. Motherboard
3. Monitor
Any pointers on the following welcome too but not so concerned with them:
4. PSU
5. Cooling options
6. Case (in case the old one, which is in storage, is now knackered)
Processor
i5 3750k
£180
Motherboard
Asus P8Z77-M Intel Z77
£90
Graphics Card
GTX 650Ti 2048MB GDDR5
£156
Optical Drive
Anything

SSD
Samsung 840 Series 120 GB
£75
Mass Storage HD
Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache
£80
Mem
Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 8GB (2x) DDR3 1600MHz
£60
PSU
Corsair 750W
£70
Cooler
Corsair Enthusiast Series TX 650W V2
£80
Speakers
MicroLab M700 40W 2.1 Speaker System
