Hey Guys :) Kind of new to PC gaming and am thinking of getting this setup:
8GB Corsair DDR3 Vengeance
Sharkoon T28 Case
2TB WD WD20EZRX Green
Intel Core i5 4670K
780 or 770 GTX Evga
MSI Z87 - G43 Motherboard
750 W power supply.
Any more help would be great. :)
 
The Nvidia GTX780 is the more powerful of the two but overkill for most games.
Battlefield 4 however requires a very powerful card to max it out. I have included a benchmark graph so you can look at the performance of the cards.The test is done in 1920x1200 so the resolution is slightly higher. It's also done in ultra settings.
If you have a lot of money to spare on the build i recommend the GTX780 but the GTX770 is also a powerful card and it is a better value card money wise.

1200 is also great and thanks for this :) After looking at it i think i will be getting a 780 for future proof and also for the bit better performance. Any other ideas would also be great :) I have £1000 to spend on everything.
 
For £1,000 or precisely £985.18 you can get this http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/2lU0w plus the case here http://www.scan.co.uk/products/sharkoon-t28-black-green-mid-tower-case-with-usb-30-3x120mm-led-fans-with-side-window-w-o-psu.

Have a look and let me know what you think. I tried to stick with your original plans and only made a couple of small changes. The ram i changed to G.Skill and the i changed the hard drive configuration.
You picked a 2TB WD WD20EZRX Green edition hard drive and i picked a Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive plus a Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5" Solid State Disk drive.
The solid state drive would be to install your operating system and games/software on and the mechanical hard drive would be for storage.
I thought as you would have a high performance computer you might want a solid state drive as they make the whole computer feel snappier and decrease loading times.

Obviously it's your computer and your decision so let me know what you think and maybe we can change anything your not happy with:)
Also something you might want to consider is an aftermarket cooler for your CPU especially as it's an unlocked CPU which can be overclocked very easily. I can recommend one if you want.
I also didn't include a dvd drive as i didn't know if you have one but they are very cheap.
 
Assuming money is no object....it is always a good idea to go BIG with tech purchases so that you don't find yourself buying a replacement a mere few years after your original purchase.
Technology develops at a breakneck pace so if you want any kind of longevity stick with the best you can afford.
 
His budget is £1,000:)



 
Thanks for all the good stuff guys :) Going to be getting my parts from http://www.scan.co.uk/ so if anyone could put there idea together in there and i will show of the final product tomorrow :)
 
Actually, that benchmark is pretty outdated now that newer drivers are out, I have a GTX 670 and am able to completely max out BF4 on Ultra in Multiplayer mode with a minimum of 40 FPS.

So, if money is an issue for you get the GTX 770 (don't know the UK prices off the top of my head), it'll manhandle anything you throw at it, if you can fit in a GTX 780 into your build then of course that'd be a better option
