Firstly if your not overclocking you dont need z87 but your board isnt expensive so thats not too bad.

 

The ram is nice but you can save £3 with this and the performance is the same. 

 

This gpu is cheaper and more powerful. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sapphire-Dual-X-Radeon-GDDR5-Graphics/dp/B00FL8H49Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405683374&sr=8-1&keywords=270x

 

The case doesnt have usb 3.0, this is 2014, antec need to get with the game, the n400 is great and looks similar to that case but with more features: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cooler-Master-NSE-400-KKN1-N-Series-N300/dp/B00CTBPLW0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405683506&sr=8-1&keywords=n400

 

I think thats fine now. Remember to buy windows as well, make sure its the oem version, unless you are pirating, then i hope you short out your board.

is g2a.com piracy cos I've been told to get it from there for £10 also the case does have USB 3.0

Why get a Z87 board if you're not overclocking, money waste.

Also, no SSD?

what else would you suggest? Sadly out of my price range

Not sure, I trust weboftrust and they havent said the sight is too bad, a lot of these kind of sites in my experience get codes from an inside man/woman/other or they are stolen codes but i dont have any clue as to what the deal is with this group.

Will get it from there when the times comes then

[xdaanyyy]

Get a non-Z87 board (any socket 1150 will work) and get an SSD with the money you save

how gb should I be getting at least?

[JustAGuy]

how gb should I be getting at least?

You need 20GBs for windows 7(minimum) and 20GBs for windows 8(minimum). I'd recommend a 64gb ssd(minimum) for your os(and some programs and games) and then a second hdd for your files and such.

Decided to go with this then.

PITA thread. Especially if one is using IE. There are non-ASCII characters at the end of the thread title that IE will not convert. The link needs to be http:// linustechtips.com/main/topic/182972-finishing-my-build-need-opinions%F0%9F%91/
