£1000 Gaming build

AmbushReality · 13 Jul 2013 at 16:53

Hey guys, looking to spend £1000 on a rig that will mostly be used for gaming (Rome 2, shogun 2). I don't need peripherals but I will need an OS included in the budget. To make things (hopefully) easier for you guys; I wanted to use the windowed corsair 300r case for my build. Also, if possible, stick to a colour scheme of plain black or black and white. I'm only going to run a single 1080p monitor so I don't need an SLI set up. Finally, I would like to have an optical output on the motherboard.

I look forward to seeing your suggestions.

Nice build mate, but don`t you think a Psu would be helpful.
