How about this? You could drop down to the 120gb ssd if you wanted to save a bit more. Still room in the budget to go with an upgraded board and power supply if you think you might go sli down the line.

That looks good thanks! Gonna be my first build so hopefully goes well. What do you mean by sli if you don't mind me asking?

No problem. It's Nvidias multiple gpu brand name. If you wanted more power you could add a second 670gtx at some stage. The board above doesn't support this. It's about €14 more for one that does.

You would need a better power supply as well. Would be about €25 extra for that.

Have a look at the cases as well. There's a lot of good ones around that price range. You might as well pick one you like.

I'll just gonna stick with the one graphic card, so im rather off just sticking with the mobo and power supply you posted above? Can I pick most of the cases on that site? Im only worried if I end up getting a slightly smaller one.
Btw just confused in relation to connecting to the internet will the mobo have a built in ethernet? Would I need an extra sound card or is that in the mobo too? Thanks again.

That mothrboard will fit on all tower and midi cases. The motherboard has ethernet as well as sound.

Any atx case will do fine.

Anything from this list. You want something with decent airflow if overclocking. Good brands are Corsair, Nanoxia, Bitfenix Cooler master.
