ok so I have been putting parts together for my new pc and I think iv got it I will be using this build for games like dayz bf4 and rust.

cpu=i5-4670k=£172.53
board=gigabyte b85-hd3=£65
ram=vengeance(2*4gb)=£65
case=zalman z11=£59
gpu=windforce 770 2bg or 4bg=£268 or £294
power=Corsair CP-9020055-UK=£95

could you tell me what you think and well would it do with what I give it


 
£725. hmm. It's nice I guess. The board won't really be that oc'able. It's kinda weird. Spending £172 on a CPU, that has an unlockable multiplier than not buying an aftermarket solution and a decent motherboard. If I were you I'd look into the build below. It's slightly more expensive. But it has a better CPU for the price. Good OC potential.

And with mantle coming up soon, it has way more potential than the gtx 770. You could interchange them if you wanted.
