My entry

Cpu: Intel core i5-3570K (Ivy Bridge)

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-z77-d3h Socket 1155 motherboard

Ram: G.Skill RipjawsX 1600Mhz 8GB dual channel

Hard Drive: Crucial M4 256GBb SSD & Western Digital Caviar black 1TB HDD

Psu: Corsair Hx V2 750W PSU

Cpu Cooler: Corsair Hydro H60 V2

Case: Corsair carbide 300R Black

Total: £734.77

Explenation of why i picked these parts.

Cpu: The i5 3570K is one of (If not the best) gaming cpu's. It also can be overclocked like crazy in the future when you're looking for a boost.

Motherboard: Gigabyte Makes very reliable Motherboard's, and this one has many great features

Ram: Nothing much to say, But its red :P

Hard Drive: Crucial makes EPIC SSD's, And 256GB should be enough for OS and a few of your favorite games. The Western Digital 1TB drive would be used for normal storage.

Psu: Corsair has allways been my #1 for PSU's, And who doesn't want a 5 year warranty?

Cpu Cooler: Corsair is also excellent for all-in one water cooling solutions.

Case:This is a very roomy case that has astounding airflow, and looks good at the same time!


Good Luck to everyone else!
