I'm a noob.. and I'm looking opinions on the following setup. All of the following I have been told are compatible with eachother but what do you guys think of this set-up? Budget is important.. around £400 (British Pounds).

All components are from the same website as postage to where I live, Northern Ireland, is expensive and seems to be a lot cheaper from just one site.

The breakdown is attached in a .pdf file.

Thanks :)

Everything is compatible. But not desirable. There are some much, much better choices you could make, what are you using it for and where are you buying it from?
 
Why the pdf file in a Zip?...just take a screenshot and post it here of what you intend to buy so we can see.

Im not downloading the file,not saying you would but how do we know its only the PDF file?

I downloaded it lol, would have been better to list components or give a screenshot agreed, but I don't think there's anything nasty from within :P

I'd be using it for general computing, surfing the internet, downloading songs, photoshop, downloading torrents, a lot of photography work, but generally a high spec computer but with a low budget.

I struggled getting it uploaded on here as the size of the file was a lot bigger than what this forum would allow me to upload. It started of as a Excel file then I converted it to a .doc then a .pdf to see if that would be smaller, which it wasn't so I had to compress the folder then upload it. Sorry - I'm just unfamiliar with compressing files as I've never had to do it before.

Nothing nasty.. well if there is, it's not intended :) I just provided it in a file because the links had hyperlinks as I'd created the file for my own reference and due to my lazy nature just decided to post the file up rather than attach hyperlinks to my text on here :)

Where I buy it from doesn't really matter within reason, I live in Northern Ireland so posted from the UK would be desirable..

What changes would you recommend?
 
I've removed the attachment. Just post links to the product.

We don't take too kindly to new members attaching files like that unless requested by a moderator/admin

Ditch the 8gb of 2000 mhz ram,just get yourself a nice 2x2gb (4gb) kit of 1600mhz.

8gb of ram is overkill and a waste imo,you would be better putting what you save from the 8gb ram to a better Cpu or Gpu.

I recently done Fastdude a £400 budget build list here you may be intrested in.

Okay thanks, I've taken this in to consideration and came up with a new list.

I have two concerns, the first is, will the PSU I've listed fit inside the case? Can anyone guide me on this?

Also, can the PSU and graphics card be substituted for a similar one on ebuyer to save shipping costs?

Thanks :)
