    Building a new desktop

    First off, i'm from the UK, i have about £800 as a budget. The PC is gonna be used mainly for gaming/school work. would this be good enough?



    CPU - Intel Core i5 750 2.66 Ghz - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/172755
    PSU - Corsair 650W TX Series PSU - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/135514
    Optical Drive - LiteOn IHAS124-19 24x -http://www.ebuyer.com/product/176026
    Speakers - Logitech X-140 -http://www.ebuyer.com/product/118487
    Graphics card - Sapphire HD 5830 1GB - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/195442
    Case - Antec 300 - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/143854
    Fans - 2x Xilence Red Wing 120mm - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/138586
    Mods - lights - Nexos Blue LED Light Strip x2 - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/138692
    CPU cooler - Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro rev 2 - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/176157
    Memory - Corsair 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600MHz -http://www.ebuyer.com/product/173122
    Hard drive - Samsung HD103SJ Spinpoint F3 1TB - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/173804
    Motherboard - ASUS P7P55D iP55 - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/173451

    I fully intend to OC the processor, would the extra fans be enough? never made a computer from scratch before, so i wanna make sure ive got everything right before i go out and buy the crap.

    I would upgrade to a 5850 and a cooler with a 120mm fan instead of that 92mm rev 2.

    Also this G Skill ram instead http://www.ebuyer.com/product/180490
