Thoughts on budget build

[tezza192]

I have £300 to put together a budget 1080p gaming rig, 

 

I already have the following spare items on a shelf gathering dust so stuff I already have are as follows:

 

Antec Kuhler 120mm watercooler

OCZ ZS 550 Watt PSU

Corsair 120gb SSD

3TB Seagate Drive

 

The parts I have picked are as follows:

 

 

Can I do better or is this OK?

You don't need the 2133mhz RAM. In fact, H97 chipset can only handle up to 1600mhz, so you should downgrade that RAM a bit.

 

Everything else looks good. Overclock the hell out of that CPU.

The matx motherboard and mid tower is awkward. I'd suggest getting a more fitting case like the N200.

Oh, well it will then run at 1600mhz. Keep in mind, if you ever upgrade to another platform that still uses DDR3 and supports 2133mhz, keep that kit and it will run faster.

Get 8gb of 1600mhz ram and I know you want to get the 265 but you could get a 750ti and overclock the crap out of it just a option
