    This is just a simple Build, for the Power supply get a cx550m and the Aerocool Aero-800.Try Amazon.co.uk if you can find better prices. Just send me a PM if you have any questions. Also you may possibly wait for AMD Ryzen [Out in March] and get some parts other than the CPU and motherboard.
    What do you think?

    Also, we keep saying it, but if you aren't in any rush, it might be worth sticking around until mid/end March to see how Ryzen (AMD) shakes things up.
