i also made a list - i upped the GPU to a gtx 1070, also added a cpu cooler, and in addition a case and a PSU - not sure if you needed them at all, but still under your price limit

Thanks for that guys. Much appreciated. Also was just wondering if it's worth getting the k series. I dont know much about overclocking and was thinking it might be overkill. will playing games like Arma. Btw I run 1080
 


cheers -

this will give an idea - some titles benefit more than others depending how gpu / cpu bound they are... keep in mind his o/c was to 4.6ghz which you may not achieve 4.2-4.4ghz should be fine.
