£ is for GBP (Great British Pounds)

Fragma all that is amazing! You could turn your computer from an ordinary tower to a built-in effing tank with those parts. Also I've seen that case before mate, my mums friend had one, with neon lights and a neon inter cooler, it looked so nice, the neons were blue. But yeah for your budget I think that's pretty good, although for your graphics, I'd go for the highest quality possible. (Monitor wise) To really pay attention to detail. But yeah, looks good mate. That would definitely turn your normal tower into a beast of a machine!

Meh, I wouldn't pay that much for a mouse. I'd rather put that money towards a HD PVR and a Mic.

True, I just love Razor products. Smile

Erm, if you need a mic this one I heard is quite good.

The sound is in stereo but is still quite good. If you click "Technical Specifications" you can see the actual quality of it. Big Grin

I've altered some of the parts after getting some feedback from a guy I know.
Basically I've decided to go for 16gb RAM, but rather than filling all 4 slots, just filling 2, so getting 2x8gb.
Also decided to get an SSD to run the op system and app installs.

Going to be a bit pricier but it should be worth it.
