Custom PC Building Help

[toxicsalmon]

I'm a first time builder and i'm looking to build my own computer at a maximum price of £800.
The specs i'm looking for
CPU: Intel i7
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560
RAM: 16GB (don't mind 8GB)
HDD: 2TB (don't mind 1TB)

I'm not sure what shell to get and what motherboard would work well with these components. I'm guessing I'd need a 600w PSU. Also I'd need an optical drive, anything will do for that. USB i'd need at least 4 and maybe 1 SD Card slot.

Also I need to make sure these components work well with Adobe After Effects CS5.5 and other editing programs/games.

If you need any other details I've missed just say

CPU: £254 Intel i7 2600K
MB: £94.50 MSI P67A-G45 (B3)
RAM: £70 16GB Corsair Vengeance low-profile
HDD: £105 2TB Seagate Barracuda
ODD: £12.50 24x Sony DVD/CD Burner
GPU: £168.50 Asus GTX 560 Ti
PSU: £57 OCZ ZS 650W

Total = £761.50, leaves you £48.50 to find a case you like.

Thank you

For a case is there anything specific needed for my specs?

As long as the case supports ATX size motherboards it will be fine, the rest is up to you (how many case fans, hdd bays etc.)

Personally would go with
NZXT Source 210 Elite with 2x Xilence Black 120mm case fans for additional airflow.


*Edit - I just used eBuyer since they typically have good prices, I would also shop around a little to see if you can get the total any lower.
Here is the forum's list of retailers: The Hardware Shopping MegaThread

Thanks for the help ebuyer does seem like quite a good place to buy it. I'll have a look round for good deals on Shells.
