Unsure about build

[MurrayTheTalkingSkull]

After a long time with computers barely capable of running their own operating systems, my friend has decided to buy us both identical computers. I've never built a system myself and considering the money being spent, PCSpecialist seems a good idea.
I know a little about hardware but i'm not so sure on some things. I started from the centre Bioshock computer on the "Design based on a game" screen, upgraded the graphics, and fiddled with some other things. What i'm really not sure about is the power supply and cooling. I've had trouble finding reviews or anything online for either, but I improved the cooling just in case. Is this needed, or just a waste of money?
The computers are going to be used for gaming, and there's not likely to be any overclocking done. The budget is ~£1000 which is achieved here apart from that pesky VAT.
I'd like to get people's thoughts here. Will this work fine? Should there be any changes? I'm not overly confident in my own judgement.

The triple copper heatpipe cooler will be fine if not overclocking.
Also while an SSD does improve boot and loading times,it's not essential and has the disadvantage of limited space,so unless using an external hard drive you would probably need to add a second hard drive.
Don't forget at least silver warranty.

I'd suggest the triple copper heatpipe cpu cooler, a caviar black as the secondary drive and a 1920x1080 resolution monitor. Silver warranty for £5

So something more like this build? What leeway is there for cases with this as well? The site says everything is compatible even with less expensive ones, but might there be any problems? Me and my friend are still making choices in that regard, but she quite likes the Coolermaster Elite 311, which is at the lower end of the spectrum, so I figure it's worth asking.

For a gaming rig you want a good case.

 

[bigben]

I wouldn't go any cheaper than the case you have chosen, not worth the risk imo. If you do need to drop the price, I would get rid of the SSD as although they are very good they are quite expensive.
Also consider homeplugs instead of wireless. They are more reliable.

Apart from that, looks good.

edit. you could also go for samsung ram to save yourself 8 quid

Keep this case, got it. I'm fine with that, I like it.
And i'll bear it in mind if I need to drop the price down, thank you.

What do you mean by homeplugs? Sorry, it's not a term i'm familiar with.

They provide a better and more reliable connection than wireless.
Homeplugs are basically a wired ethernet connection through your domestic wiring,plug one homeplug in to a wall socket next to your router then connect an ethernet cable from the homeplug to your router,plug the other homeplug to a wall socket next to your PC & connect an ethernet cable from that to your PC.Very useful if it's going to be problematic connecting directly with an ethernet cable.
