Just about to order these parts for a budget gaming/3D rendering pc and wanted to know if anyone had any thoughts on/or experience with the parts in question or a substitute to them.

Note:These are at the very constraints of my budget and suggestions should only be cheaper!!!

I would say you have done pretty good. Going to be a nice setup.

The only thing I'd change is the PSU. You could easily get away with a 750W. And unless you REALLY like the look of the Sabertooth, I'd just get the Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD4-B3. Though I did the same thing and got the Sabertooth, but it does work out cheaper to get the UD4, whether it's the Z68 or P67. You could also get the BitFenix Survivor case, which is a bit cheaper then the 922, or if you really wanted that kind of look and a CM case, I'd just get the 912 Advanced

EDIT: The RAM could also be changed to a 1333mhz clock, saving money. You can overclock the vengeance safely to 1600. I saved about $30 AUD on ram in my build, and just clocked the ram up to 1600

And maybe change haf 922 to haf 932.The haf 932 is a better quality and more solid build.

I'd go with the p67a-g53 as it's better at overclocking and is £100
