Advice on this build ordering it today!

The budget for this build is a maximum of £1100 and I will order the parts in the UK. I would want to use it for school work, programming and playing games such as: Minecraft, BF4 and Civ 5. I would like to run 1 monitor to start with but then buy 1 more at a later stage. I would like them to be full HD. Monitors also don't have to be included in the budget. I already have a keyboard, mouse ect.

 

Here is what I have got: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/3CDg4

I am ordering it in a couple of hours!!

My system: CPU: i5-4670k CPU-Cooler: be quiet Dark Rock Pro 3 Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD4H Ram: 8GB Kingston HyperX fury (red) SSD: Samasing 840 EVO 120GB HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 780 3GB Windforce Case: Fractal Define R4 windowed PSU: Corsair CX 600W Semi-Modular OS: Windows 7 Home Premium.

Laptop: Dell Laptop - Some crap i5 and 8GB of DDR3 ram. OS: Duel Boot - Windows 8 & Ubuntu!

Nice build. I would change one think , the fans. Please change them out for some Be quiet or silverstone fans. ( Noctua has ugly colours that is not what we want.) Also i would add in a bitfenix LED stip to give the system some added bling and nice looking-ness ^^

 

EDIT: oh yeah and maybe change the case , it has some ugly fan grill things on the side that i dislike :

Other than that, solid build!

Different RAM, fans, and a nicer wireless card. Other than that, I like it.

Keep in mind that you are ordering from different stores. Aria and SCAN charge a butt-load for delivery. It's best if you keep it to stores that don't charge you for delivery. Also, I was about to say the say thing as @hawthorne, that colour mismatch. I'm pretty sure you can find a red set of memory for the same price. Other than that, you're fine.

Seems fine other than your ram being blue and your motherboard being red...

Yes better, but i would really suggest to add a phobya/bitfenix LED stip in. I know it doesn't increase performance or w/e/ but it makes for a much nicer look

Other than that maybe change the CPU cooler out for a bequiet one for a quieter system/ much better looks.

Its okay that you dislike the case, but keep in mind he isn't building it for you. LOL. If he is okay with the grills in the side panel, no need for him to change it.
