I'm planning to build a 1440p/low 4k gaming PC, but I need to cut the price down as much as possible. ATM i'm at about £1150, but I would prefer it if I could get under £1100.

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Don't know if you can use that CPU / Mobo combo. The 4690K likes a *97 chipset. You can update the bios in some cases, but i'm not sure about this one.

 

It will play games @ 1440p at medium- high settings. Definetely not ultra.

That 970 is decent enough for 1440p, I've seen mine struggle with 4K already hence I downgraded to 1440p, other than that you should be fine

If you really want to game in 4K I'd suggest getting a 980 instead, even that won't provide you with the best possible experience, gaming in 4K is pretty expensive

CPU: Intel Core i7 4790K @ 4.8GHZ | GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Gaming X (X2 - SLI) | RAM: 24GB | Storage: 128GB 960 PRO M.2 SSD, 1TB & 750GB HDD | Operating System: Windows 10, MacOS High Sierra

Radeon cards tend to do better at higher resolutions.

Is there anything wrong with my motherboard in the original?

Yes. It's Z87. We're using a Haswell Refresh chip. Unless you have a spare LGA1150 CPU, you'll risk your CPU not working in case of having an old motherboard with an older BIOS.
