If only i could

First of all thank you for bringing another great competition Tom.The parts i have chosen to pair up with the 7770 are.
cpu: https://www.aria.co.uk/SuperSpecial...t+LGA1155+Processor+-+Retail+?productId=49755
Motherboard:https://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Com...Socket+1155)+ATX+Motherboard+?productId=52006
ssd: https://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Sto...A-III+Solid+State+Hard+Drive+?productId=44260
psu:https://www.aria.co.uk/SuperSpecial...+Bronze+Modular+Power+Supply+?productId=52179
cpu cooler: https://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Com...Freezer+i30+Quiet+CPU+Cooler+?productId=49516
case:https://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Com...idi+Tower+Window+Gaming+Case+?productId=53453

Although the limit was set at £750.00 i only chose the parts that would be adequate for my needs.

Total cost£643.21
 
So I'd like to keep things coordinated a little bit. The MSI 7770 colour scheme is black & blue so I've tried to keep the build to those colours :)

CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz - £134.95
Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-I Deluxe Intel Z77 Mini-ITX - £121.95
RAM: 8GB [2x4GB] Corsair Vengeance Blue 1600MHz CL9 DDR3 - £41.66
Hard drive: Crucial m4 128GB 2.5" - £76.66
PSU: 650W Corsair HX Series V2 80PLUS Gold Modular Power Supply - £81.81
CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro H80i Water-Cooling CPU Cooler - £62.79
Case: Cooler Master Elite 120 Advanced Black Mini-ITX - £29.98
Shipping: £7.70
Total: £669.00

Case will need some small modding to fit the H80i but since it's OC3D I assume that's allowed :)

Other things I'd like to add but are not in the list are,
Blue/Black SATA cables
Blue/Black PSU, Fan & Case individual cable sleeving
Corsair SP fans with the blue rings
 
Here are my choices:

Intel i5 3570K https://www.aria.co.uk/SuperSpecial...t+LGA1155+Processor+-+Retail+?productId=49755
Cooler Master HAF XM https://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Com...+Case+++1+FREE+Gaming+Mouse!+?productId=50358
MSI Z77A-G45 https://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Com...DDR3+PCI-Express+Motherboard+?productId=53350
8G Mushkin Blackline https://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Com...DDR3+SDRAM+CAS+9-9-9-24+1.5V+?productId=44336
Samsung 256gb 830 SSD https://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Sto...rton+Ghost+-+(MZ-7PC256N/EU)+?productId=52880
2TB WD Caviar Green https://www.aria.co.uk/SuperSpecial...ARX+3.5"+SATA+III+Hard+Drive+?productId=45894
Corsair TX750 v2 https://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Com...2+80PLUS+Bronze+Power+Supply+?productId=52957
Noctua NH-D14 https://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Com...11+Dual+Fan+Quiet+CPU+Cooler+?productId=53260

Total = £746.77
 
CPU: i5-3570k (£161.94)
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-D3H (£101.59)
Ram: 8GB Corsair Vengence White 1600Mhz, 1.35V, low profile (£49.99)
Hard Drive:
SSD: Mushkin Chronos 120GB (£98.34)
HDD: Western Digital 2TB Caviar Green(£71.40)​
PSU: Corsair AX 760w (£138.86)
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-14 (£61.22)
Case: Cool Master HAF 912 (£64.28)

Total cost: £747.62 inc VAT

Ideally the WB 2TB green would be a 1TB blue but you can't win them all I guess.
 
Im actually looking to build something like this system in January as a sort of media PC type thing in the front room. well that and have something for the new steam idea :rolleyes:

CPU : I5 3570K
MOBO : MSI Z77IA-E53
RAM : 2 x 4GB Corsair Vengance Low Profile 1600 Mhz
HDD 1 : Mushkin Chronos 120Gb SSD
HDD 2 : 500GB Seagate Baracuda
PSU : Corsair 760 AXi
CPU COOLER : Corsair H80i
CASE : Fractal Design Node 304

£746.93 an sexy for the job in my eyes!

Hope the extra HDD isnt cheating, but i would need the storage for games etc build just wouldnt work without the 2 drives for me

SO As not being familiar with GBP or this website this was tuff. I hope that buying asecond video card wasn't against the rules, since I didn't read anything about not being able to grab a second 7770.
