    So its my first time, but don't worry I'm not a technotard.

    I'm going to build my ideal Gaming Rig, I have selected all my various parts and done all the required research into these parts, there mainly from Komplett and Overclockers and I am quit sure that I can put this baby together, I would just like some reassurance that all the parts will come together nicely and that I'm not missing anything haha.

    So the parts

    Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB 1600MHz

    Hard Drive
    OCZ Agility 3 60GB 2.5" SATA-3 Solid State Hard Drive 

    SATA Drive

    I wouldn't trust Corsiar's Builder series. I don't know that the V2 is like, but the first series were actually pretty terrible. Their higher-end ones are great, but historically their lower-end PSUs don't match up.

    Maybe this instead? (You won't need 600W for that system, unless your planning SLI in the future, in which case have a look at the M600.)

    The Agility 3 is a great drive on paper, but its controller has been causing a lot of problems. You might think about the Crucial M4. Not as good spec-wise (though recent firmware improves this, from what I'm told), but far more reliable.

    Might I also suggest hardwareversand.de? They're German, but they're very cheap, especially in comparison to UK sites. They also offer a flat €30 shipping fee.

    So I changed the two but I'm gonna get Cooler Master - Silent Pro M600 - 600 Watt and im gonna get it cheaper on Komplett and speaking of which, it is cheaper than hardwareversand.de but only buy a few squids, ever for my GPU 237 v 235, but Komp have free delivery and there Irish (plug...plus I know someone who works there and he gets a staff discount or something to that affect). thanks very much.
