MSI 7770 contest entry

Case: http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Comp...k+Midi+Tower+Soundproof+Case+?productId=47784
(I just love the 550D, i think its perfect!)

Motherboard: http://www.aria.co.uk/SuperSpecials...Socket+1155)+ATX+Motherboard+?productId=49021
(Gigabyte boards have been treating me good lately, and personally i don't see reason to switch to another brand

CPU: http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Comp...t+LGA1155+Processor+-+Retail+?productId=52002
(Plenty of power to go with an MSI 7770! nice match IMO for daily use and a little gaming)

CPU Cooler: http://www.aria.co.uk/SuperSpecials...ck+Advanced+Quiet+CPU+Cooler+?productId=43590
(im not too familiar with most of the coolers sold on this site, but i have heard the Be quiets are nice. No need for a large super overkill cooler on an I3)

RAM: http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Comp...nnel+Kit+[CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B]+?productId=43953
(The blue heat sinks will accent the blue heat sinks on the motherboard i hope)

Power Supply: http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Comp...2+80PLUS+Bronze+Power+Supply+?productId=53134
(nice high quality power supply to ensure everything inside the computer lasts a long time, and still offers enough power for future upgrades)

Hard Drive: http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Stor...on=shoppingBasketAdd&productId=44260&context=
(i have chosen an SSD over a hard drive for this build, i think the system speed improvements over a HDD will make up for the smaller size)

i think these components would be a great match with a 7770 as a home computer that is also great for games for the kids (small kids and big kids included!) and the price? 629.22! over 100 under budget! enough for the all important monitor, keyboard and mouse!
 
ASUS P8Z77-I Deluxe Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) Mini-ITX Motherboard

Cooler Master Elite 120 Advanced Black Mini-ITX Gaming Case

Scythe Shuriken BIG 2 Rev.B Low Profile CPU Cooler

8GB Mushkin Enhanced Redline Ridgeback (2x4GB) 2133 DDR3 CAS 9-11-10-28 1.65V

520W Seasonic M12II-520 80PLUS Bronze Modular Power Supply

Intel Core i7-3770K 3.50GHz (Ivy Bridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor

Corsair Force GT 120GB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Hard Drive


Basket Total £ 592.64
Approx. Delivery £ 7.20
VAT £ 119.97
Total £719.81

If it were basket total I'd get a bigger SSD and a TX 650W Corsair PSU instead. I would have gone with a Bitfenix Prodigy and a taller cooler if I could have, otherwise I'd be happy to have this for video editing and games.
