This is final plan for my Gaming Pc after taking in all of the ideas from the Linus community, Thanks! If I've missed something or you've got any advice please say. BTW the price of this build is just over my limit if you think I should spend more I can't so please don't post any comments like that! -http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/q8X26h

the motherboard supports sli and crossfire allowing for more expand ability, and you can always upgrade a ssd later allot easier then you can with a motherboard

1. Why would you go with a 4670K instead of a 4690K? 

2. I'd use corsair/kingston/adata ram instead. 

3. Save a few bucks on the case (get like a corsair 200R) and don't use a dvd-drive. 

4. Like @SAV1OUR said, get Win8.1 on g2a.com

5. I wouldn't sacrifice an SSD, but with the changes listed above you should be able to get a better motherboard. (I recommend the ASUS Z97-A)

6. And no, don't use an i7 LOL
