So I'm currently building a PC and was wondering if my current build is good or if the parts I got could be better and or cheaper. My budget for the PC is around £760. Any help if appreciated thanks in advance.

I think it's pretty good.  I can't comment on prices since I'm in Canada but I think your combo is pretty good.

Depends, You can save some money by getting a cheaper mobo and an r9 380. Also i recommend switching out that psu as its not very good under load (maybe an xfx 550w?)

What about changing the Motherbaord non overclocking CPU with Z Chipset? 

Could save a little money on that. 

 

See here for comparison ...
