Gaming PC build.

[BlankPursuit]

My budget is 600 pounds (which, in terms of the parts, translates into roughly around 800 bucks).
This is the build I made but it could probably use some work:

Any feedback and/or adjustments are appreciated!

That's a SOLID build! Do consider the R9 280X @ 188

Hm, I honestly am not sure. This is a really good price and XFX has great coolers too. Isn't the 280x the equivalent of NVidia's 770?

Basically it is the equivalent, but you'll find it's price is very close to the GTX 760.

My only concern is the retailer- Scan.co.uk. The r9 280x is 180 pounds there but I've read some bad reviews about the site? Have you had any experience with them?

Sorry, I live in the States. Newegg has almost always been my source for components.
