hey guys i am looking to get a spec for a gaming PC with a new haswell i5 4670K processor and a good mobo.

Will not need the monitor, OS, case, and will be getting a GFX card at a later date so this will not be included in the build.

I will also be looking into SLI in the future so will need a good compatible mobo and PSU.

What would you suggest

Thanks
Daniel Bell

I misread the PSU being needed, thought it was already there. That rules out the H100i.

Looks good..

Only think i'd change is the RAM, as its high profile, its risky. it should miss the CPU cooler but i'd rather play it safe and get this RAM, it will look better too: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-064-PA&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1387
 
Yeah may be better to play it safe, think it's probably ok, so may be worth the OP checking with customer services if he decides to go with it.

Your choice certainly does look better :)
