I wanna build a gaming PC, because the one I have now (almost 5 years old) is kind of outdated. I'm not looking for high-end gaming. Just a good rig that will do it's job for the next 3 - 5 years.
So...
CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 (1150/3.2GHz/6Mb) - I believe it's a good CPU and I don't think I'll need anything more than that. Right now, I have an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 (2.66, 2.67 GHz), so it's a great upgrade I believe. I found a local store that sells it for ~135 British Pounds.
GPU: Sapphire R9 270 2GB BST OC D-X or SAPPHIRE DUAL-X R9 270X 2GB GDDR5 OC WITH BOOST - Both of these cards are superior to my Radeon HD 4870 512MB GPU, and I do believe they will do great for an upgrade, and they will most probably play newest games on high settings with good FPS. I don't have anything for FXAA and Anti-aliasing, so it won't bother me to have them off, which will increase the FPS for sure. The 270 one costs on the same local store 153 British Pounds while the 270X costs 161 B.P..
RAM: I think I should get one chip of 8GB, since it seems that some latest games require 6GB of RAM, instead of 4. The cheapest is the Transcend RAM DDR3 8GB Dimm 1333MHz (55 B.P.) one, while I think that I should get the Crucial Ram DDR3 8GB kit 1600MHz Ballistix Sport XT (59 B.P.) one. The latter seems to have a heatsink and better speed than the first one.

What do you think? And can you suggest me a motherboard and power supply? I'm not good at those. I don't need an OS since I already got one. Same goes for monitor. Only thing I need is fans and a case, but I'll see that later. Thanks in advance!
