i will ditch the card reader but im not sure on over clocking as im relativity new to Gaming PCs as such so i don't even know how to over clock
 


It's not that hard really and most motherboards will do it for you anymore if you have the right cooling setup. But still if you post your budget that would help.
 


850 is my budget
 
I'd suggest something like this:

£850 is my budget and is this a better option for the RAM 8GB Kingston Hyper-x Fury Dual-DDR3 1600MHz (1 x 8GB) and for the graphics card 2GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 750 Ti - DVI, mHDMI, VGA - 3D Vision Ready
 


Oh now that changes things. You can definitely get a much higher end PC than that. And for RAM you definitely need two sticks to get the most from a dual channel system, a single one just won't cut it. Check something like this out:
