Can it run the latest games well. I am not planning to oc so did not get a CPU cooler. Also, I already have a copy of windows 8.1 at home so don't need to pay for a new operating system.PCPartPicker part list: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/T6xw7P

I wouldent change a thing it looks good to me. All i will say is that you might be able to save some money on a lower wattage psu you really only need 500 watts maybe even less for that build. Also if you have any extra cash you might try to squeeze a SSD into your budget.

Yes it is a solid build, but I would save money by getting an i5 4570 or 4590 and a H97 motherboard



Practically the same performance for cheaper and more future proof

If you are not going to OC, then you don't need a k series. I got you a haswell refresh CPU and new chipset Mobo. Got you a cheap cooler as they are more quiet than stock ones and perform better.

Seems pretty solid for the price and the 770 is great for all your needs.
