    On my phone so sorry if I missed anything. All seems compatible. The biggest thing your missing there I'd reckon is a CPU cooler. That's assuming you'll be overclocking with the CPU and mobo choice. Can't really comment on the build as a whole as I've no idea what your using it for? A lot of it seems to be over kill tbh. Not exactly great "bang for your buck" but all pretty good components.
    I'm pretty sure people here were getting monitors from the site. The dell ultrasharp always seems to get recommended but there is cheaper options too.

    Im going to be using it for Gaming mainly, not planning on upgrading in the near future. If I ordered a monitor off of that website wouldn't it have the European socket? Is it a standard connection, ie a kettle lead?

    Well again I'm no expert but until someone who knows better comes along I'll tell you what I think. The difference in gaming between the CPU and its i5 equivalent isn't enough to justify the price difference. I think you could put the difference towards a better graphics card or monitor. With your budget you could possibly start looking at a 1440p monitor maybe even a 27inch if you thought you'd like that. The power supply seems a bit expensive too as in you could probably get one for half the price. Also if you do your order through geizhal.De you'll shave a few quid more off.
