the build i posted will do you good and you can get an SSD later on down the line or give up the HDD for an SSD

Can you return it? you can do much better with your budget

 

or do you need peripherals and monitor as well?

the HyperX Fury ram is a litter cheaper(~£62 for 2x4gb). And its sexy af.

Actually, I will go with your list, The GTX 750 Ti although it is overclocked just isn't powerful enough for the games i want to play. I'll also just use a HDD and get an SSD later

The GPU is overclocked so Zotac wont accept it back, I could sell it on eBay and use that money on a better mouse and keyboard since i already have a monitor
