I will be adding a Used AMD Radeon HD 7850 for now, as I have bought it from a friend (But will upgrade to a GTX 970). I also have a Windows 8.1 Licence I'm going to use.

 

I also can only buy things from Amazon, barbecue delivery from everywhere is really expensive to where I live :-(

 

Thanks in Advance for the Help! :-)

Looks pretty good, though I'd swap the HDD out for a WD Blue or Black, or a seagate barracuda.

Is the optical drive really necessary? 

I'd suggest getting a better case. The Comrade's airflow is sub-par.

Overclocking have no benifit in gaming and costs more. Go for non-overclock cpu and motherboard. That saves money
