Build help please!

callumbas

Hi guys,

I'm looking to do a build to upgrade from my laptop which is now about 4 years old and is giving up. Initially i need to build to do university work on as a Computer Science student but will be looking to game on it once I have saved enough to buy a graphics card. My budget is £800-£1000. I will need to buy a monitor but already have a keyboard, mouse and OS to use. I am going for a black and white tham, I currently have this in mind:

Are you going to overclock the CPU? If so get the i7 6700K.
