intended use? budget?

Be around the price in the spec list. Mainly be used for gaming and some virtual machines now and then. Are the parts I selected okay? I heard there were some errors etc with the kingston ssd's and something wrong with one of the wireless cards (Not sure if the one there is one of the bad ones)

Which you didn't include with the spec - there are so many different configurations available, so whilst it can be worked out, its just easier if you let us know.

Roughly, £1.2k ish I'm trying to get a build that'll last me through university! (I meant the price is around how much I've selected in the config i currently have xD sorry for the confusion!)
