So is the monitor, mouse and keyboard all meant to be within your £750 budget?

Little bit over budget; no OS, or SSD. If the £750 was just he PC, no monitor, etc, then get an r9 280x, and an SSD. Also a slightly nicer looking case wouldn't be a bad thing.

I would go with this too. But if its over your budget, get the i5-4460 and drop the cooler and go with the stock fan.

Infact i think im going to drop the cooler (and get it at a later date, just use the stock for now) and get a gtx 960 :)

the R9 280/285 are as powerful as the 960

anyway pick whatever is cheaper
