    I'd imagine 550w psu would be enough. I'd go with the boxed version of the CPU to be honest. It's only 2 quid more. Not 100% sure but don't think you get a warranty with the tray CPU's.

    The H100 is overkill alright and it really isn't worth the money for it's performance and noise level. I'd replace the cooler with a coolermaster 212 evo.

    That mainboard is overkill as well. An ASrock z77 extreme 3 or 4 would be more than enough. You could save €80 on both and lose no performance.

    You won't need that pci soundcard. The mainboard has better onboard sound.

    Do you really want a beige dvd drive with a black case?

    You could put the money saved into a better graphics card or pocket it.
