Trying to finalise a £800~ build

Hardware Build a PC
1

It's going to be my first pay-day tomorrow, so to celebrate I'm going to ditch the crappy laptop and go back into PC gaming, I do occasional intensive Photoshop processing which is proving to be a noisy sluggish nightmare currently.

I'm firm on it being smallish, so have gone for the Micro ATX route. Here is what I've been drafting so far: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/1uvHy (SSD to be taken from laptop and GPU already acquired due to a magpie moment) Considering getting a 1440p monitor later, on 1080p atm.

  • Firstly, I have no idea what case I should get. I am interested in the Prodigy M but don't think I can wait until October for it to ship, so some suggestions to look up on youtube would be great.
  • CPU cooling type I'm still not sure about, looking for a simple overclock to maybe 4.3 but I'm not confident since I'm an OC virgin. Willing to spend to reduce noise level.
  • Mobo, I didn't see much choice available so I went with that. Wanted to make sure the wireless will fit around my GPU (rather avoid USB, a certain family member might hide it to piss me off).
  • PSU, is there anything more quieter with great performance going?
  • Memory, I'm buried in the large amount of choice available, Help! I've decided that anything over 8gb will be overkill for my needs. Blue/white/silver sticks a bonus for beauty.
  • Add fans/extra cables as necessary and for prettiness.

The £800 I mentioned in title is a guideline, not a strict budget. No need to take into account the parts I have so far. It feels like 800 is a good spot to stop before going overboard.

White/blue colour scheme for parts is a bonus if I get a windowed case.

Thank you for reading

This has what you have asked for a windowed matx case blue and black color and its quiet and overclockable.  For more lights and fans look at bitfenix light strips and there fans too.

I said in my post I wanted to go for a M-ATX build...

Thanks, I'll take those changes into consideration.

I noticed the Wireless was dropped out of the spec, it wouldn't fit?

How many fans would you suggest getting, again keeping in mind the noise level?
Some thought, I think I also have enough to go for a modular PSU too to keep things tidy.

Sorry I thought that board had build in wifi but somthing like this http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-wireless-network-card-pcen10 would work good and can go in any 1x or full pci slot.  Also look at the seasonic g550 psu.  For fans I think 2 intakes on the front and 2 exaust should give you plenty of air flow

Thanks, I put my order in and should be building just before Sept comes along.

Since I miscalculated my tax contributions I ended up going with your original PSU suggestion and will be holding off the extras for now.

Hope to post a pic in the relevant thread soon.
