Sorry about bombarding you guys with questions, but I have one final question and then I'm off to buy my parts. What is the difference between a EVGA geforce GTX 770 and the ASUS one? As currently the ASUS is about £20 cheaper

I'm curious what the advantage of the AMD is compared to intel, as it seems like the AMD you recommended gives more in terms of 'actual' general usage in maybe using photoshop or websurfing however it lacks when gaming compared to i5 4670k http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/697?vs=837

1. Budget & Location My budget is around £800-900 and I'm from the UK. 2. Aim This is going to be my main PC which I will be using for gaming (League of Legends, Titanfall, Starcraft 2) and also for doing work on which involves using Microsoft Word and opening lots of browser tabs. I am also considering overclocking to see what the PC will be capable of, and to improve my knowledge. 3. Monitors Currently I have a crappy LG (1920x1600) VGA monitor which I will be using, hopefully in the future I will switch to a HDMI monitor and I'm looking at getting two monitors, one for references and one for using Office. 4. Peripherals I don't really need any peripherals atm, since my budget is limited but I am interested in getting a mechanical keyboard to increase my WPM (currently at 72wpm) and also to get a decent PSI mouse, so any recommendations would be nice. 5. Why are you upgrading? I have a really crap notebook and an even worse Alienware laptop which i despise =_=. I think i brought into the hype, because it really isn't worth what I paid for it. I need a new desktop which is hopefully going to have a low temperature and reduce noise. Hey guys, I'm quite new to the forum and I've been researching about building a computer for the first time. I have about £800 (£900 max) to spend. And I have browsed around different forums and rig. So far I am considering these parts: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor (£161.99 @ Aria PC) CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler (£25.45 @ Scan.co.uk) Motherboard: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming ATX LGA1150 Motherboard (£89.99 @ Novatech) Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory (£62.16 @ Scan.co.uk) Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB 2.5" Solid State Disk (£59.95 @ Amazon UK) Storage: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£53.99 @ Aria PC) Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 770 2GB Video Card (£269.72 @ Scan.co.uk) Case: Fractal Design Define R4 w/Window (Black Pearl) ATX Mid Tower Case (£79.99 @ Amazon UK) Power Supply: Corsair CX 750W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply (£68.98 @ Amazon UK) Optical Drive: Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer (£11.69 @ CCL Computers) Wireless Network Adapter: TP-Link TL-WDN3800 802.11a/b/g/n PCI-Express x1 Wi-Fi Adapter (£19.98 @ Novatech) Case Fan: Cooler Master SickleFlow 69.7 CFM 120mm Fan (£5.32 @ CCL Computers) Case Fan: Cooler Master SickleFlow 69.7 CFM 120mm Fan (£5.32 @ CCL Computers) Total: £914.53 (Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.) (Generated by PCPartPicker 2014-04-07 20:31 BST+0100) Although I am kinda skeptical if I need a CPU cooler or if the stock one will be sufficient and furthermore if the case is a good idea, as I'm considering getting a coolmaster scout 2 case instead. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks in advance Hideoki
