It Looks good, apart from the keyboard and speakers. Keyboard: theres no point spending £8 on a keyboard, it will be rubbish Speakers: creative t20's are thought to be better. Edit: the antec one is the updated version of the antec 100 which is an updated version of the 300
Actually, this keybord has very positive reviews: http://www.testfreaks.com/keyboards/logitech-k120/ As well as the Sony speakers: http://www.testfreaks.com/pc-speakers/sony-srs-a3/ The antec 302 case is an updated version of the 300 too. The antec one and 302 look quite the same, I'm not really sure which one is better.
EDIT: maybe I'm getting the GIGABYTE GA-H77-D3H instead of the GIGABYTE GA-Z77-D3H mobo as I won't be oc nor would I need SLI. I might also get the i5 3450 or 3470 instead of the i5 3570 as the performance change is very little.
