Hey guys, just wondering on what your thoughts are on this self-built I am thinking of getting. Give me your thoughts and any improvements you may know of! :) (Trying to keep it below £1000)
Computer Case (want it to look good(LED's etc)) - Suggestions?
CPU - Intel Sandybridge i5-2500K Unlocked Core i5 Quad-Core Processor (3.30GHz, 6MB Cache, Socket 1155)
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C8 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C8)*
Motherboard - Asus Maximus IV GENE-Z Intel Z68 Motherboard
PSU - Corsair CMPSU-650TXV2UK Enthusiast Series TX650 V2 High Performance 650W Power Supply
HDD - Samsung F3 HD103SJ 1TB internal Hard Drive SATAII 32MB Cache 7200RPM OEM
Disk Drive - Samsung SH-B123L/BSBP 12x Blu-ray Player
GPU #1 - Gigabyte GTX 560Ti OC 1GB GDDR5 Dual DVI Mini HDMI Out PCI-E Graphics Card
or GPU #2 (Not sure which would be better) - PowerColor HD 6950 2GB GDDR5 DVI HDMI 2mini DisplayPort PCI-E Graphics Card
Keyboard (Wireless) - Suggestions?
Mouse (Wireless) - Suggestions?
OS - Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium with Service Pack 1, 64-bit, English, 1 Pack, DSP OEI (PC)
SSD? (worth it?) - Crucial CT064M4Solid State Drive2 64GB M4 Solid State Drive
Total is about £855-£950. (that is without the parts marked with Suggestions?)
Thanks for the help in advance guys! :)
 
SSDs are very nice for a boot drive. I will never go back to a regular mechanical drive for my boot drive. Very expensive, but I think it is worth it.

I would get the 6950 2GB over the 560ti 1GB. A lot of newer games are using more than 1GB of VRam, so its better to get a 2GB now.

Thanks for the info! Seeing as they are pretty expensive, and i don't really want to go too much over £1000, is there any decent SSD's that you know of that are good for the buck :P?
 
i know the ocz vertex 3's list the highest speeds i've seen but idk how reliable they are. and for the case i'd look at some of the corsair and cooler masters, and you may want to search around for the hdd as prices are really high in some places so somewhere else might be cheaper, flooding is causing a shortage causing prices to soar.
