Very good, except for the RAM. Get 1600 Mhz RAM at least, preferably 1866 Mhz. I would try and get a case from Corsair and NZXT also.

Change the board to a 970A UD3. Get memory like said above of 1866 or 2133.

Would be great if you could buy it all from one place too, I'd stick to Novatech. Always had great service from them, usually get next day delivery even when I go for free P&P.

You probably know this but just make sure you get a 64-bit Windows 7 instead of 32-bit. You could get Home Premium but I'd go for Professional just in-case you want to use more RAM or other features in the future .

Get this RAM if you want 8GB http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/...dr3-pc3-12800/1600mhz/f3-12800cl9d-8gbxl.html best to go 1600MHz and dual-channel, so that means 2 sticks of 4GB.

when it comes to RAM is the brand important? I found a RAM unit with an equal amount of memory but the higher 1600MHz frequency, but from a less known brand http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/components/memory-pc/ddr3-pc3-12800/1600mhz/ram-16008.html

I've used that Novatech RAM before. It's OK, but I'd recommend you get the RipJaws-X I posted a link to before.
