This build?

Ok guys so i have around £800 for a gaming build with a 1080p monitor fitting into the budget. Im in scotland and for this price I have found i can make this:

Case - Zalman z11 plus hf1

CPU - i5 4690k

Mobo - msi gaming 3 z97]

PSU - Antec true power 650W 80+ gold

Ram - 8gb hyper x fury 1866mhz

GPU - r9 290

Storage - 1tb caviar blue WD (already have a 120gb ssd for boot drive)

Monitor - Had £120 on monitor - Acer K242HLABID 24"

USB 3 header adapater for £2 to sort out the usb 3 passthrough in the case

 

So i was wondering if this was a good build for the budget i have

yeah that's a really good build, you probably didn't have to spend that much money on the motherboard so you cold get an ssd or a 290x instead but not bad at all

Watched a few vids on the 290x and tbh i dont think its worth the extra money, plus i like dragons

[hazza_ob]

but you may want to get an aftermarket cpu cooler if you are going to over clock the cpu

haha fair enough

[CalumGiff]

Yeah ill be fine with the cpu at stock for a while the z97 is just for futureproofness ill OC when and if i need too. Oh and if i had the money to spend on an r9 290x id be buying a gtx 970 instead they are almost  the same price on amazon

I aint overclocking out of the box cause tbh i wont need too, once ive decided i need to OC ill pick up a hyper 212 or something like that, the case is being bought because it is aesthetically pleasing to me and I currently have a cx 500W and hate it with a vengeance hence the antec one I choce.

Thanks for your input though ill deff take a wee look at that case and watch a review or somthing

Make sure to pick up a 256gb sad for games later on

[CalumGiff]

Yeah will do, the 120gb will suffice for now

Another question, im buying a 4690k and a series 9 z97 mobo will that be able to run the newer broadwell chips when they are released?

Hopefully yes but Intel could fuck with us. No one but they know
