After over a month of planning I have my final build

Hardware Hub Build a PC

Just like to say thank you to the guys who post on here firstly, given me tonnes of advice during the fine tuning process, so cheers.

Right then here's what I've got - http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/3j4wnQ

As you can see I've got the wheels in motion, already got a few parts now ! So basically just looking for any final input and revisions, what do you think for £295 ? Do you think some parts I have made a mistake ?

Lastly, I have £150 left over for my gpu, so with that in mind I could also play around with the stuff I haven't purchased, maybe spend £120 and bump up the cpu budget for example. What do you guys think ?

Cheers

I'd suggest another stick of RAM. Don't forget the benefits of multiple channels.

What benefits?
There's no gaming performance increase, and if your motherboard only has two slots, IMO it'd make more sense to go with 1x8GB stick and then have the ability to upgrade later down the line.

There is no hard drive in that list, unless you all ready have one and I missed the post.

@Zibob Already have a few lying around I can use :D

And yeah from what I read dual channel doesn't really do much for gaming unless you are using an amd apu, but in the end I got dual channel kingston savage because I got a good deal on it this morning. I'm all purchased now awaiting delivery :D

Please explain to me how twice the memory bandwidth isn't a performance-affecting upgrade.

Read the thread. Its a bit of a long explanation. It's in an article there somewhere. Sorry for the short response, on a phone.
