So basically this will be my first build, I want it to be fairly small but not too constrained, was thinking mini ITX with a fairly roomy case. It's not for games so nothing beastly, but I do want something nice and that will last a while.
CPU - i5 3570K (~£175)

MOBO - not too sure something with z77 chipset, probably a mini-ITX (~£135)

GPU - again not sure, not a gamer but would like something nice anyway
RAM - Corsair 8GB DDR3 1866Mhz Vengeance Memory

SSD - 120GB OCZ Vertex 3 2.5in SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Disk, (~£90)
mini-itx.com
HDD - 750GB Seagate 2.5in SATA 7200RPM/16MB Cache Hard Drive (~£70)

Case - BitFenix Prodigy Mini-ITX Cube Case, only if I get a mini-ITX MOBO obviously. (~£60)

I would like to keep it around the £500 mark so I might cut on some of the above, but there is room for negotiation where the budget is concerned. I'll still need a monitor, keyboard and mouse and not sure if I'll want a separate sound card, tv card etc... and of course power supply!
to summarize all I really know is I want something nice, smallish, and quiet based round the i5 3570k
sorry if this is all a bit vague or foolish, I'd appreciate any advice on this.
thanks,
