If your buying it prebuilt how much are you paying? If it's more than 1.4K, then don't get it. 

Someone tell me if im wrong but doesn't the Kingston V300 barely be faster than an HDD?

Edit: Can confirm V300 is the SSD that you shouldn't get. http://www.eteknix.com/potential-kingston-pny-scandal-switching-ssd-components-after-reviews/

Jesus it's 2015 now can't we already get over it...

Get a sandisk great budget option.

Yeah, that would perform great! However, I always recommend custom building! It's really easy to do, and allot cheaper.

 

If you do end of buying a Prebuilt however, compare the price of the prebuilt to an equivalent system on uk.pcpartpicker.com

 

You'de need the socket and chipset compatible to your CPU.

Which means, any 4000 Series i5 would be on the H/Z97 platform, and on the LGA 1150  ......

I wouldn't want to build it my self, i'm thinking of getting pc specialist to do this for me.

Don't waste the money you can do it it really isn't hard I built one when I was 12 and it still works just do it!

Would I need a overclocked cpu at all?

Over clocking really won't make much of a difference in games but if you want to over clock the be sure to get a "k" intel cpu.

 like the 4690k or 4790k? 

Yes any of those cpu could be over clocked if you bought an aftermarket cooler.

What kind of mother board would you suggest, do they make much of a difference?

I suggest that you should get a build like this it's cheaper and you get better components
