£750 Build

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 1080p monitor that I already own, this is because I don't want to spend any money on a new monitor when I have a perfectly good one 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)

Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 960 2GB Video Card  (£178.98)

For that budget, you can't really change that much more. Perhaps go with the S340 and put the money towards maybe a larger SSD. I filled my 128GB SSD 2 days after having it. and Maybe upgrade to a Hyper 212+/Evo 

Edit: Added a Config.
