I've seen a few parts up for sale on a classifieds site and they seem to be fairly decent for the prices. All in all, I reckon I can build a full tower for around £600 with these parts if they are compatible with each other. It's vital that these do work together as I really don't have money to spare as I will need to purchase an OS, SSD, fans and wiring.

Anyway, these are the parts I can obtain:

Intel i7 Processor 4790K 'Devils Canyon' Haswell
Asus Maximus VII Ranger Z97 Motherboard
Corsair AX850 Power Supply
Corsair 8GB (2x4GB) RAM
Antec 300 case
Sapphire R9 290 Graphics Card
500GB 7200RPM HDD

All help is greatly appreciated as always :)
 
As much as that PC build looks sick in the pcpartpicker, I don't think I can really justify spending that much on a PC for which I'll use for light gaming, programming and editing. Although, I do agree with you with the fact that the new DDR4 RAM, the new haswell-e processor will definitely set me for the future. I do plan on changing the case for sure, it looks horrible and is pretty poor but it comes with one of the components which is why I added it in the build. I'd probably look at a Zalman Z11 or NZXT Phantom 510.
 


I see, well in any case, Good luck! I'm used to gearing for the future myself which is why I thought I'd throw it together as it's not terribly different in cost.
