Hi guys,

I'm Building my brother a new PC which will be used for general use and gaming (new titles such as BF4 @ very high/ultra 60fps). I have built a PC on PC part picker of all the components used other than the GPU as it isn't on PC partpicker, This is the GPU http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-347-SP

 

We need to shave some money off the build however as he only wants to spend about £750. Any other suggestions will be appreciated.

 

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/zgc6K8

 

 

 

cheers.

CPU: i7 3770k@ 4.6Ghz@ 1.23v - GPU: Palit GTX 660ti - MOBO: Asrock Extreme 4 - RAM: Corsair vengeance 8GB 1600Mhz - PSU: OCZ 650watt - STORAGE: 128Gb corsair force GT SSD/ 1TB seagate barracuda 7200rpm

                                                                                         COOLING: NH-U14s/ 3x Noiseblocker blacksilent pros/ Silverstone Air Penetrator/ 2 corsair AF120s

Fix the pcpartpicker link m8, give me a 404

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

The PSU we are getting is already from scan and is the same price though. 

Ditching the SSD is an option

...that build is already less than £750, have I missed something obvious?

The GPU (which isn't in PCPartPicker list) is 149.

I see £76 on your PSU and £60 on mine. How is that the same price?

Ooooh tits, no they are not. You cannot run the 4690k on Z87 without an update and I don't think that the MSi board has CPU-less updating

I would go for the EVGA instead. As for the motherboard I suggest the Z97-G43 instead.
