Get XFX 650W
i5 4690K
and Gtx 770.
and keep the rest same.And max all games like crazy.

I would say the 770 is substantially better than the 760.

However, with your processor, you could, and should, have a stronger GPU, like a 780 or a r9 280x/r9 290.

So, 770 or better would be the best option, if you can afford it.

1st Definatly, Although swap the psu with this one: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-220g20750xr
And swap the Hdd with the WD Caviar Black.

It should play most games max settings at 1080p.

With that money you can get a much better build: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/zss6pg
Its a Gtx 780.

First one for gaming. definitely.
Go for even better than the 770 if you can to have more performance, like a 780 or 290/290x.
But then your I would switch your PSU to a Seasonic for example.
Good choice of components overall and of case!

850W is an overkill. with i5 4590 there is no meaning of getting Z87 and the aftermarket cooler.
There is no Optical drive and OP need monitor too as it is present in his build.

Z87 works perfectly fine with i5 4590.
The aftermarket cooler is cheap and just nice to have instead of the stock cooler.
You should not put an optical drive in your system. Plz.

And 850 watts is for great SLI later on.

Thanks for the replies. Is the i5-4690k worth paying £10 more for over the 4670k?, also if i go with a gtx 770 and 650w psu would i be able to sli it with another 770 or would i need a 750w for that?

For SLI 700-800W would be a safe bet. The 4690K has abit more stable overclocking and lower OC temps than 4670K.

 

[t3nn1spr3p]

i5 4690k not worth the extra 10.

 

[e4472]

Thanks again, I think I will just go all out and get the 770 and 4690k
