I just made a list of a PC I am going to build to the mid £600 range.
I plan to use this for playing GTA V, Battlefield 4, COD BO3, and other AAA Games at very high (1080p) and music production (i have an external sound card btw)

Am I missing anything from this build, and if so please recommend any changes
Thanks

My max budget is 650 GBP but I dont really want to spend more than 630, i am cheap lol

Thanks

I can't find much information regarding your mobo choice, but it appears to be a 're-badged'/'renamed' version of the very old 760 chipset. You would do well to spend a little more on the mobo and get one with a 900 series chipset.
Might I suggest this one:

Or save up a little more money and get a 990X or 990FX: that CPU really needs more then the 760 or 970 chipset.

That's a good board, granted it blows your budget but it is better suited to the CPU's performance.
Epicness937 is correct about the power supply. You probably can get buy with the mobo you have chosen; and the 970 card is a very nice choice but you...

You probably can get buy with the mobo you have chosen; and the 970 card is a very nice choice but you could skimp there and go with a 960 or 950 if all that mattered was money. DON'T cheap out/skimp on the PSU. These forums are littered with threads about PSU failures and almost always they are fairly inexpensive psu units. The EVGA he recommends is o.k., but this might be a better bet, made by Seasonic:

Thanks but you linked me a motherboard for a PSU lol, and spending £100+ on a motherboard is not ideal, thanks. Overclocking my CPU isnt something that I am too worried about, although I would like to do it in the future, I would like to run 4.7Ghz stable. Any cheaper alternatives, with USB 3 support?
 


This is the power supply link.
