What is your budget for this build and do you need an OS or a monitor?

I do need a monitor, but don't need OS! Budget is about £800, currently it's 895..

I've left £100 for a monitor and made this - it offers the best bang for the price possible and should perform quite well:

What will you be doing with the PC primarily and are you willing to overclock to get better performance? (according to this I'll change the build to suit you better)

Dude, thank you so much! It'll be mostly for gaming, I'm hoping to get a min 1080p monitor but would love 1440p. Yes I'm willing to overclock!

This build will be able to run at 1440p and is overclockable:

I would personally choose the first build but either will run brilliantly.
