I'm just looking for input on if my build idea seems decent or if it just has some weird stuff that does not make sense or that if there are parts that dont match the quality of the rest. I will not be building for eat least a month or two. Might wait for Christmas for some cheaper parts. 

 

 

 

1. Budget & Location
 

I'd like to keep the build at around 1200 GBP. I am located in England but i can get parts from the US via visiting friends.

 

2. Aim
 

My aim is for a high-end computer which can handle things such as highly modded Skyrim with high detail texture packs.I want to be able to play GTA V, and similar demanding games. I would also want to play FPS games at a good 55+ frame rate. 

 

3. Monitors

 

I'll be starting off with simple 1920x1080 on a Asus VG248QE 144Hz 24.0" Monitor,but in the future planning on moving up to 4K when it becomes a bit cheaper for a decent sized monitor. 

 

4. Peripherals

 

These would not be a part of the budget as i have other money set for this. I'd like to keep this  around the 400 GBP mark excluding windows

Logitech G502 Wired Optical Mouse   
Asus VG248QE 144Hz 24.0" Monitor

Corsair K70 RGB

These I can easily swap with similarly priced stuff

 

5. Why am i building?

 

For the experience and the to have a nice solid gaming platform for a few years to come to take advantage of Steam sales versus the PS3 high prices i've always had to live with

 

So far i have:

 

CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K

CPU Cooler:

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-GAMING

Memory: Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory

Storage:
     SSD: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
     HHD: Seagate Barracuda 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Video Card: MSI Radeon R9 290X 4GB TWIN FROZR V

Phanteks Enthoo Pro ATX Full Tower Case

Power Supply: EVGA 850W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular

Case Fans: 3 x Corsair SP140 quiet editions on the top, Same 2 on the front, Then AF 120's everywhere else

--> in USD but 1600 is around 1000 GBP which means with the more expensive parts in the UK versus US it should make up for it just about I think

 

 

 

Thanks
