Hi, if you are looking to save some money, the i5 processor is sufficient for gaming and you will not notice the difference in the extra RAM. The V300 drives have suffered some performance issues so you would be best to go for a different one, I assume you already have a bigger drive for storage. I personally would go for the CS series PSU. Even though on paper you do not need the extra power, it is modular, much quieter and built from superior components.
