That's around my budget- I posted a while back with a smaller budget, but now this is probably the most I can spend... Hopefuly can upgrade it bit by bit in future :)

if you post your budget someone could come up with an alternative, slightly better system.

Just one more question - which case do you think is better?

The one I chose above, or this one?

CORSAIR SPEC-03 COMPACT GAMING CASE

Heya, just one more question, I was just wondering how upgradable this setup would be? Would it be easily doable if I were to throw an i7 in a year or two? Or RAM? Thanks for your time once again!

The H81M-PLUS motherboard has 2 DDR3 slots so I think the most RAM you can have is 16GB

Also it only has one PCIe slot, so you can't have a second GPU if you ever consider SLI.

You can upgrade the CPU to i7 no problem.

Thanks mate, and the motherboard can be easily switched at some point too I take it?

Yes, but its quite a big job, you have to dismantle the whole pc and rebuild it, a motherboard upgrade is something you only want to do once a new architecture is out.
