    Need help with this build

    Hi I'm making this build for my gf and I just want to know if it's any good. Anything to change up compatibility wise? It has to stay Micro ATX and total can't be more than £800 (GBP). Doesnt really need to be top end or fancy. Just something good enough for todays games and such.

    When you select the "k" chip you need a Z board. The k version means that the chip has the ability to be overclocked. Same goes for Z boards, they give you the ability to overclock the k chips. So if you won't overclock get the non k chip, but since the price is very similar you might as well get a cheap Zboard to have the option if you need it later on.

    You can get a better cheap cooler as well and those ram sticks 99.99% wont fit below the evo - clearance.

    The psu is bad, as all corsair cx series. You need something more reliable than a hit or miss part.

    About the keyboard/mouse combo deal, haven't used it myself, but most ppl report that the keyboard is somewhat decent for the price but the mouse has problems after a few months of use. But you don't really have a budget for more without loosing elsewhere.

    Monitor you should really get better one.
