That is my current part list - I am going to assemble all of these together at the weekend (they're all on the way) 

 

In the next 2 weeks I'll have about £300 to play with...

 

So! 

 

I would like people to find me a GPU to match the rest of the system w/ no bottlenecks, a mouse (along with - if possible - a keyboard) and a decent headset with a decent mic... GO!

 

Bear in mind, I might just be able to wait to get new peripherals and just get a better GPU in the meantime... also... I LOVE SHADOWPLAY so GeForce if possible - or recommend an alternative to shadowplay

its impossible, either the gpu or the cpu will bottleneck one another, theres no perfect world

 

normally, the gpu would be the bottleneck in term of gaming

If you want to go Nvidia, I'd recommend a 960. The 380 does perform better in certain games and vice versa. I put a mechanical keyboard in there, but it's not the flashiest. Wait for sales, if you'd want a MK that looks better. The Rival 100 has a good sensor for it's price and it has a nice design.

Sorry I went 10 pounds over. If you want to be right on 300, wait for a cheaper MK or just get a membrane keyboard if time is of the essence.
