Are you planing to overclock? if not change the cpu to i5-2500 the version without the K. It should save you a bit of cash.

You could save yourself some money by sticking with the default cooler as well if your budgets tight

The specification which you have put together looks good, although there is always room for improvement - whether it's improving performance or reducing the price to fit to a particular budget. What budget do you have by the way?

- If you don't plan on overclocking the PC then change the CPU from the "K" to the standard one.
- If you do plan on coverclocking in the future, then you will need to get the Kingston RAM & a better CPU Cooler.

Once you let me know your budget I'll try work on some further improvements.

I may tweak the cpu in the future, more than likely not-i don't like to fiddle . My budget is around £1000.
