Hi i'm thinking about building a new gaming computer for some of the cool new games coming out like titan fall and elder scrolls online but in the price range of £700 or $1,200. I'm not the best at choosing parts or knowing if they will go together properly so look at my build and please tell me if you have any suggestions for better parts that will still stay in my price range or if things won't go together.

 

My build so far:

MSI R9 270 Gaming 2GB PCIe Graphics Card Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 Mhz RAM

MSI Z87-G43-GAMING LGA1150 ATX Motherboard

Intel Core i5 4570 Quad Core Retail CPU

Corsair Builder Series CXM 600W Modular

WD 1TB 3.5 inch Internal Hard Drive - Black

 
For fans:
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO (120mm)

Corsair Air Series AF120-LED 120mm Quiet Edition High Airflow LED Fan X 3

 

And the case i'm thinking about putting this all in is a BitFenix Ronin please leave any comments or suggestions on if it will work or what i should change for what keeping in mind of the price range.

Thanks Alot
