Looking to build me a new gaming pc in the coming weeks and I need help selecting parts. I have a budget of around £1000 and I need a decent mouse and keyboard included in that too.

So far I've chosen
Intel i5 3570k - £170
Gtx 670 - £300
NZXT Phantom - £100

So i need help choosing the rest of my build,
Cheers for any help :)
 
what else do you want ? cd/dvd/blu ray? ebay is a great place to pick up a cheap cd/dvd burner.
for psu I'd recommend corsair 650tx but theres loads of good ones. Kingston Hyper X / G-Skill Ripjawz ram - go for 2 4gb sticks for best effect
nzxt do some nice aftermarket additional fans as well if you want to increase airflow

OK, I'm from the UK, and I'm going to say this: Novatech is great, I always part from them. They have great customer service.

It's best to buy everything from one place.

Good choices so far it seems with the 3570K, the 670 and the Phantom. You still need a few things though.

Motherboard http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/components/motherboards/intel1155z77chipset/ga-z77x-d3h.html (cheaper and better than the ASRock Newcomputer recommended)

RAM http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/...dr3-pc3-12800/1600mhz/f3-12800cl9d-8gbxl.html (1600MHz is the fastest you need)

Power supply http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/components/powersupplies/cp-9020038-uk.html

Hard drive http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/components/harddrives-internal/sataover1tb/st2000dm001.html

SSD (if you want one) http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/...solidstate/128gbandabove/sdssdp-128g-g25.html

DVD-RW http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/components/opticaldrives/idedvdwriters/sh-s222abebe.html

That is all you need, plus of course your CPU, GPU and case.

CPU http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/...ncorei3,i5andi71155socket/bx80637i53570k.html

Graphics card http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/.../nvidiagtx670keplerseries/02g-p4-2670-kr.html

Case http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/components/cases/cases/895562002742.html (it is available in black and red too).

Having bought several of Novatech's motherboard bundles in the past (the bundles with the board with the CPU and RAM installed), I wouldn't buy one again. The boards and RAM are low-quality/low-end ones. You get much value for money by buying the parts individually, plus you can choose what you want then.
