http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/Fj6KQ7

 

I have a budget of around £750 (already stretching it here) and i still need to get a monitor, gaming mouse and keyboard.
Can one of you lovely people have a play around on pc part picker and recommend me something to fit my budget? :)

(ps. if it looks stupid what ive got so far my bad, im not that great with building pcs)

So is the monitor, mouse and keyboard all meant to be within your £750 budget?

Little bit over budget; no OS, or SSD. If the £750 was just he PC, no monitor, etc, then get an r9 280x, and an SSD. Also a slightly nicer looking case wouldn't be a bad thing.

I would go with this too. But if its over your budget, get the i5-4460 and drop the cooler and go with the stock fan.
