Can someone build me a PC on uk.pcpartpicker.com for a gaming PC with a max cost of £800. I want the CPU and GPU to be the best they can within the price. Also note: must be an Intel CPU (I don't trust AMD) (Please no flame war).

A GTX 980 ti is a lot better for performance. But unfortunately, it is really expensive. 

I am also a fan of Intel and nVidia. I also don't like AMD. Give me about 5 min. I will build a PC for 800 pounds on pcpartpicker.

390 for the 970, 390x/Fury/Nano for the 980(The nano and the fury outperform the 980) and for the reference 980ti, the fury X is the direct rival, but a custom 980ti is better

"I don't trust AMD."

 

That opinion is idiotic. I'm not saying you're an idiot. I'm saying not trusting AMD CPUs is idiotic. Here is probably the best build you're going to get for the price. I can make it cheaper by a large amount if you want to focus on 1080p 60hz gaming, but for 800 this is the best you can do:

So would you recommend a 390x/Fury/Nano over the 980?

It is a little bit cheaper than 800 pounds.. If you can exceed your budget, you can get a samsung 850 evo SSD into it.

Thank you, my opinion on AMD may have been generated from most of the quality builds using Nvidia. But if AMD outperforms Nvidia I'll go to AMD no problem!

This could also work. But I would suggest the build that I gave if he really does not want AMD.

Right now, AMD GPUs are by far the best from a cost to performance ratio, except for the 980ti versus Fury X. The R9 390 is cheaper than the GTX 970, and performs better than the GTX 970. Considering your budget, this is where you should be in terms of GPU. A 980 isn't worth the extra cost, and a R9 Fury (non-X) is probably outside your price range. The 390X usually isn't worth it over the 390 unless you can find a great deal on it.

It says the parts are incompatible or whatnot. 

It says 

  • The Fractal Design Core 1300 MicroATX Mini Tower Case supports video cards up to 380mm long, but video cards over 200mm may block drive bays. Since the Sapphire Radeon R9 390 8GB Nitro Video Card is 308mm long, some drive bays may not be usable.

In that case swap the GPU out for a GTX 970, but IMO that's pandering. The R9 390 is better. Your build has a better case, but my build has an overclockable CPU and an SSD. It even wins on ram. because the h170 boards usually can't run anything faster than 2133.

Getting too hot is a matter of improper cooling, not a bad card. I could rip off a GTX 970's cooler and stick a pure aluminum heatsink on it and it would overheat and throttle. Wouldn't be the card's fault. Just make sure you get a good cooler when you get a high TDP chip. The GTX 980ti has the same problem as the R9 390X.

The good R9 390 (and therefore 390X) coolers are: Sapphire Nitro, Powercolor PCS+, and the MSI one. I'd avoid all the others.
