Changed the Gigabyte GTX 1060 to a Zotac one,since gigabyte sucks with customer support

Changed the motherboard to a Z170 one for overclocking

The PSU is Tier 3 which means its decent and for 50 its a great deal

Instead of 2x4gb sticks i picked a 1x8gb stick since 2x4gb will take up more space in those ram slots 

I advise if you can go a little over budget to get a 240-256gb SSD

So with water cooling its either go big or go air? I did read that the H7 was quite nice but I could not find a UK store that had it ._. Thanks for the link.

 

Yeah the H55 looks cool :P

Yes,Big Aircoolers such as Noctua NH-D14/D15 are great great and great while performing even better then some 240mm water coolers,if you want water,go big like a EKWB Predator 240 but that's WAY out of your budget,you can see how good the Noctua NH-D14 is

Not sure yet. Depends on what system I'll be building. It will be quite high-end though. £1.5k+

While i'm gonna tell you know,if you chose a EKWB Predator 240 the difference between it and a custom watercooling loop is like 2-3%
