Hi, I've played PC for quite a while now but have never considered undertaking the task of building my own computer until now.
I want to build a mid range gaming PC with a GTX 970 and probably an i5 4690k processor but I'm not 100% on my choices.
I want to hopefully keep it below the £700/800 all together if possible but can possibly stretch a little bit
Any advice on parts, components and monitors would be brilliant thanks!
