Something like the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo will work well for just $30.

If you don’t plan on overclocking then ditch the cooler upgrade and go for the cheaper Core i5-6500.

The board offers loads of features and should you want to overclock it is more than capable.

The onboard sound solution is also good enough you’re free to easily forgo a dedicated sound card.

The G.Skill Ripjaws 4 Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-3000 is unbeatable value at just $59.

For the optical drive we have done with an LG combo drive that supports DVD burning and reading Blu-ray.

There are plenty of options to pick from but we really like the Silverstone Strider Essential 700w.

It’s Bronze certified, offers ample power and costs just $75.

Best of all it costs just $70 making this sleek looking case a must have item.

And yet our top pick for the enthusiast build is the $450 LG 34UM67 34".

It has a 3.5mm Line-in jack for seamless connection to other analog audio devices.

The Razer Deathadder is one of our long-time favorite mice.
