No, the SSD is not necessary.
But I do recommend it, windows boots in about 15 seconds compared to the minute-two minute time of a normal hard drive.
You can also fit all your main applications on there so stuff open instantly which makes everything feel even faster.

- You dont need a soundcard, it already has on board sound, and like IrishMan Said, an ssd REALLY helps, the crucial m4 is probably one of the best, its cheap, EXTREMELY reliable, and the latest update pretty much doubles the speed. if you put games and stuff on your ssd, they will launch 10x faster, it really is worth the price.

More or less the same as what your man above said, with a few changes.
If you plan on changing anything, the CPU can be dropped down to an i5 2500k which will save 20euro.
You can drop the third party cooler if you want, but the stock one isn't great and quite loud.
There is cheaper motherboards you can get, you can build it yourself if you prefer to do that.
I'd also suggest bumping up the SSD to a 128Gb one for an extra 25euro, totally worth it.
A soundcard isn't needed unless you are a really sound junkie, the onboard sound is good enough for most people.
Total: £739 including shipping + it will come built.

Well I bought my build from them and I thought they were great, I had to ring them up to talk me through the order as you have to pay by bank transfer which isn't as hard as it sounds, I had just never done it before.
They are really cheap and everything came in a week of paying and was built perfectly for me.
