    I am going ahead with a build based on the Bit-Tech advised 'Mini-ITX Gamer August 2013' from http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/buyers-guide/2013/08/22/pc-hardware-buyer-s-guide-august-2013/6

    Build:
    CPU: 3.4GHz Intel Core i5-4670K - £178.79 scan.co.uk
    Cooling: Corsair H80i - £75.08 ebuyer.com
    Motherboard: MSI Z87i - £101.5 ebuyer.com
    Case: BitFenix Prodigy - £65 awd-it.co.uk
    Memory: Corsair Memory Vengeance Jet Black Low Profile 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz - £55.56 scan.co.uk
    Graphics Card: MSI GeForce GTX 670 OC Edition 2GB - £179.60 scan.co.uk
    PSU: ThermalTake SP-530PCWEU - £51.04 scan.co.uk
    Storage (HDD): Seagate 1TB SATA 3 OEM - £47.99 scan.co.uk
    Storage (SSD): Samsung 840 Series 250GB - *Moved from other PC

    £760.89 *I already had the SSD.

    I had a bit of a time finding all the components from one shop, which is why they are from three. No one shop had the motherboard, case and psu. Scan had most, ebuyer had the mobo and undercut on h80i. The prodigy case was on overclockers but delivery was expensive, awd-it undercut so went with the only other UK supplier I could find even though I hadn't used them before.

    work in progress..

    If you haven't already ordered you can get free delivery with Scan which might help as part of these forums.

    Nice Specs :D

    Yeah was aware but thanks for helping sir. Also got free delivery from the graphics card order (seems a few places are doing it). Not here at double-quick-speed though, unfortunately :)

    ITs a pain in the XXX though as to get the free shipping for have to call their toll number even though its saved to your account and then your paying 5-10 pounds for the call anyway. Yes they do it that way for a reason.
