I've been planning to buy a new PC for months now and have decided to buy all the parts individually and a family friend is going to build it for me. I've used pcpartpicker to list all the parts and have done a reasonable amount of research into each part in order to try fit under my £1000 budget, so far I've got this:
CPU - Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler - Be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 67.8 CFM Fluid Dynamic Bearing CPU Cooler
Motherboard - Asus MAXIMUS VII Ranger ATX LGA1150
Memory - Kingston HyperX Fury White (2x8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
Storage - Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB SSD and Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD
Video Card - MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB Twin Frozr
Case - Corsair Graphite Series 230T Black
Power Supply - EVGA SuperNOVA 650W 80+ Gold
I'm not sure how important the size of a case is, if I should be getting a mid tower case or a full tower case. The Dark Rock Pro 3 looks massive to me and I'm worried about it all not fitting into the case I've chosen.
Is a 650W PSU good enough or should I go for one with a 750/800W?
Any advice towards this would be great as I'm not the best with computer hardware and don't want to mess it up.
Cheers
