So this is my first computer that I'll build myself, and I have a budget of around £1000, though I can go all the way up to £1100. I'm going to use it mainly for gaming and stuff like that.
This is what I've chosen so far:

I don't know too much about picking the right parts, so I might've done a horrible job, you're free to make an entirely new build, though I'd like to keep it at less than £1100. I also forgot to add a soundcard and some speakers/headphones, so you're free to add those if you can, though they're not necessary. I'm going to need a monitor and OS too, obviously.
Thanks in advance for your help! :smile:

£1093, case is upto you but the 902 is quite overpriced for what you get.
Not a whole lot of change from yours, the ultrasharp shits on the Asus IPS, the 6970 is a little overpriced in the UK due to limited stocking (not to mention you have a triple slot card
which will definitely cause problems if you get another) and the XFX 850w is the same price with a better 12v rail and better OEM (Seasonic).
Alright, will check into it tomorrow, thanks for the build. I chose the Antec 902 for its supposed airflow, but as long as this case keeps everything cool I have nothing against it.
The fractal R3 has above average ambient temperatures but only by a couple celcius, there won't be a noticeable difference in component temperature even with overclocking.
Although the R3 also has noise insulating foam installed as standard, easily changeable fan area, looks pretty and the build quality is solid.
Awesome then, I'll wait for other opinions too, but thanks a lot for the help.
