Case
PCS SPECTRUM RGB MID TOWER CASE. (I was going to go for the corsair spec-delta, but I have seen that it's airflow is quite not good. I'm not a big fan of this case's flashy RGB looks, although I assume the RGB can be toned down to a less obnoxious set of colors.)

-----------------------
This spec looks good enough for me and what I want, which is a good 144hz 1080p gaming machine, and enough CPU horsepower to do some light video editing, some light CAD, just general IT tasks whenever they arise.
You guys have more experience than me, what should I change/add?
Budget is preferably £1250, although £1500 is the maximum. This build is £1252.
