Hi all, I've done a bit of research and a lot of asking around and this is the current build I have;

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

How good does this build look? Will it be good enough for all the latest titles? How good is it for upgrades in the future? And also, what is the main weakness with this build? All replies greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Main weakness is probably motherboard, it's not a z97 if you want to upgrade in the future.

looks good.

Try to get an ssd in there. Even if it only is a 120GB one you can install windows on it and some other programs like chrome and your drivers.

its not crappy its pretty decent actually its not built for overclocking or sli or crossfire but its really decent for the price he could get away with a b81 board if he needed to. anyway msi has a really good rma policy if it fails. i doubt u could get that from asus.

h97 can support broadwell chips like z97 but the real performance will come from skylake anyway.

Next question, this is my first build, is it self explanatory to put together or does it take some learning? (I'm 14 so I have nearly no experience with computers, although I have always loved them)
