£700 Black and White Themed Build

GameDragon

Hi I am looking to build a £750 Black and White Themed Build

As I have said before, My budget is £750 and I live in the UK.

The system I am building is for gaming and casual use (word editing, web browsing and all that stuff). I am looking to play nearly all games so the system will need to be upgradable.

I am planning on running one 4k tv at 1080p using hdmi, this is because I don't want to spend any money on a new monitor when I have a perfectly good tv lying around.

The only peripherals I need are a keyboard and a wireless network adapter.

I am upgrading because my current pc can't run any games apart from minesweeper :)

Remember: Black and White Themed build.

 

Edit: Here's what I have configured so far

 

 
CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor  (£174.00 @ Amazon UK) 
CPU Cooler: Arctic Cooling ACFZ11-LP Fluid Dynamic Bearing CPU Cooler  (£11.23 @ Amazon UK) 
Motherboard: MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  (£88.76 @ Scan.co.uk)

Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 960 2GB Video Card  (£178.98) 
Case: NZXT H440 (White/Black) ATX Mid Tower Case  (£89.93 @ Aria PC) 
Power Supply: Corsair CX 600W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply  (£56.99 @ CCL Computers) 
Wireless Network Adapter: TP-Link TL-WN725N 802.11b/g/n USB 2.0 Wi-Fi Adapter  (£6.98 @ Novatech) 
Keyboard: Dell KB212-B Wired Ergonomic Keyboard  (£11.49 @ Amazon UK) 
Total: £751.67

I might do, depends on how powerful the rig is because I am guessing a rig at this price will only just be able to run games at 1080p (if you know what I mean)

At £700 it really isn't really possible to power 4k.

I think you can fit a 970 in that budget...

You should still have it at 4k for desktop work and web browsing, and just have the games run at 1080p

Text will look much better at 4k, and you still will get the same performance in games :)

I've also got the H440, MSI Krait and Fury Ram in my black and white rig. They are a great choice.
