There's no need for a Z77 board or 550w PSU here. You can save money by getting a B75 motherboard and ~450w PSU. You'll also want an extra SATA cable if you're including an SSD.

No offense but why a z77 board with a locked processor why not go with another chipset.

Intel CPUs perform better in games than AMD's offerings. This has been proven many times.

By no means does a 7750 belong in a 500 GBP build.

The board has a very weak VRM and no SATA III.

Overpriced RAM and not enough of it. Bad voltage.

That's an enterprise drive and it's too expensive for OP's needs.

The case is terrible and so is the housefire PSU it comes with.

The SSD is SATA II and mediocre.
