I wouldn't go for a CiT PSU with that build one of the main components you should never skimp on is the psu the cheaper units are generally cheap for a reason go for a quaility corsair or other main brand unit some only cost an extra £10 or so, just do the research. I wouldn't trust a £25 psu with any system less so if the cpu costs £160, around £40 will get you an decent PSU where you can add a discrete card later if needed without worrying about overloading the PSU.

+ This case. Roughly £500.
A mid level GFX card if you chose to get one later would be roughly £140.
An extra 1tb HDD would be £40.
Only extra you will need is keyboard/mouse and speakers.
You'd have yourself a mighty fine PC!

I like the look but apparently its no good on the floor due to dust. As there are no dust filters I read using this will require very regular cleaning due to very quick build up of dust in all the heatsinks and fans

It's no good ANYWHERE due to dust! It's a totally open case, so unless you have it a clean room environment and wear a full protection body suit when you are gaming, then all your components are going to be covered in a nice layer of dust in a matter of months. And don't think a can of compressed air will help.You'll accrue a layer of that sticky dust that only a wipe can remove... which you really don't want to be doing. Such a ridiculous case, although I do like the look of it.

I love this, and I'm a total Mac Fanboy......... I know I could go away and do the deep research in Google, but what would it cost to put some sensible components in here? £500?
Not even really for gaming as such, although I'd be interesting in that if it was at the right price. Just to have a capable Win10 machine up on the wall as "art".

I done a build for 700£ about 5months ago.
Had a cheap case, 970, i5 processor, 8gb ram, 500gb ssd. I could have got it done for nearer 600£ but the guy it was for wanted everything from Amazon which wasn't the cheapest place for the parts.

And a monitor! Wouldn't you go for 2 sticks of RAM for dual channel? And maybe downsize the SSD for a smaller disk + big mechanical storage?

Haha I always forget about the monitor! And you're right, I didn't realise that RAM was only 1 stick.
Here's a slightly different and cheaper build.
A monitor will cost you £100-150 for a decent 24 inch.
