Hi all, i'm looking at ordering a new gaming PC and was hoping for some feed back.

My budget is between £900 - £1100

This is what I've been considering and was just wanting to know what improvements could be made to either lower the cost or improve functionality.

Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Processor i7-4770 (3.4GHz) 8MB Cache

ASUS® Z87-A: ATX, USB3.0, SATA6GB/S, SLi, XFIRE

8GB KINGSTON HYPERX BEAST DUAL-DDR3 2400MHz X.M.P (2 x 4GB KIT)

2GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 770 - 2 DVI, HDMI, DP - 3D Vision Ready

120GB KINGSTON HYPERX 3K SSD, SATA 6 Gb/s (upto 555MB/sR | 510MB/sW)

1TB 3.5" SATA-III 6GB/s HDD 7200RPM 32MB CACHE

CORSAIR 650W RM SERIES™ MODULAR 80 PLUS® GOLD, ULTRA QUIET

Super Quiet 22dBA Triple Copper Heatpipe Intel CPU Cooler

Thanks in advance.

Dont buy another cpu cooler, the stock cpu cooler is good enough. Plus your cpu cant be overclocked so there is no point in buying one. Otherwise your build is set.

This lol, if you plan on OCing though get the K version

Looks like a solid build though ^^, I'd change the PSU for something like an XFX PSU tho

Just because it doesn't have a K at the end of it does not mean it can't be overclocked. All the K means is that it has an unlocked multiplier. Without the k you can still work with FSB and multiplier you just cant push the multiplier past the factory highs. Also I just had a guy bring me his i5-2500k the other day for an upgrade to the cooler because he was running in the 80c range playing WOW with a stock cooler... Educate before you flatulate

No need for i7 if primarily a gaming purposed rig

Well maybe his cpu is overclocked thats why. even if it isnt there must be something up cause i have the 4770 with stock cooler and i average easily around 35c. Also, I know that you can still somewhat overclock the cpu even though its doesnt have the k at the end. When I mean what i said before, was that it cant be overclocked to for example 4.2 ghz, thats what i meant

Is that 35c while you are looking at your desktop or during processor intensive gaming on a dual monitor 1440 setup, as in the example I gave... There is a lot of reasons for high heat other than overclocking
