Building a pc for my brother, wondering on opinions. The budget is 900 GBP and need to know if any of you guys would make any changes.

Designer PC cases are expensive and useless, might be better to go for some cheaper alternative and put the money into something else, if you're on a budget

Not useless, but in this case with only 900gbp I would change it to something else.
Also the PSU can be reduced to one of a lower wattage, you're not getting a K series CPU so can't overclock, no need to spend that much on a CPU cooler, in addition the[URL="http://www.anandtech.com/show/7763/an-update-to-kingston-ssdnow-v300-a-switch-to-slower-micron-nand"] V300 SSD is shite and should never be bought[/URL], and those cost savings should let you bump up the GPU to a 970 or AMD equivalent (someone else will have to chime in on what that is)

From there you can either include overclocking capable parts, or bump up the budget by ~22 and fit in a 980.
