Never get unbranded ram, ram heatsinks are not needed, there is no point in a fan controller and as for the power supply well it would most likely destroy the computer, what is this pc for?

as said above, get some branded ram (doesn't have to be overly expensive) and get rid of the memory heatsink, you can get a better cpu heatsink in that price range and finally the golden rule... Buy a good PSU

I aggree don't get unbranded RAM, DO NOT skimp on the PSU, if the PSU is £15 stay well away, the moment you plug it in it will prob blow up and theres £400 wasted, get did of the fan controller, and the cpu heatsink if not overclocking, get rid of the memory heatsinks and use the saved money on a better PSU. 750w is overkill for that you prob only need a 550w PSU at teh most.

The samsung RAM is really good and can easily be overclocked, and both of the PSU's are 80 plus Bronze rated so are very efficient.

ive ditched the ssd because i cant afford it just now

i really want the fan controller because it would just make my build quiter and make it look nicer but i seen another one thats cheaper

 

[TonyTBR]

That looks a lot better, im guessing you already have a harddrive but f not go for a Samsung spinpoint or wd green drive they are both pretty good, other than that good luck.

what is this build for? I take it not for gaming, due to your choice of Graphics card. You waould probably get a better allround system ditching the CPU and Motherboard and getting a setup like this.

and

At least that way you will still be able to play some newer games, at medium settings.

I would go with this, great build for the price, using good quality parts.

Never go with unbranded PSU's or RAM as they tend to be of a cheap nature and cheap PSU's can cause more damage than good and end up costing much more in the long run.
