need help to perfect my build

[cub3s]

Hi I have created this build http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/Fy6PD3

at the moment its £690 I dont really want to go over the £700 mark maybe slightly, I was wondering if I could improve it at all, or cut back any price if some things aren't necessary to spend more on as I don#t like spending lots of money!
I really appreciate any help I can get, peace

There you go, sir. Better graphics card and better PSU in exchange for H81 motherboard, which basically means nothing in terms of performance since this CPU cannot be overclocked anyway.

+1; This is a great build for 700 quids that will handle anything you throw at it!

Nice one guys, really appreciate that

@herrwizo yo man cheers for that only question is does it matter that the board is micro atX?

 

[herrwizo]

Not at all. The only thing you lose is more slots for add-in cards. It will fit into the case just fine.
