Fellow OC's.
I was about to buy new rig as old one is not handling new game titles as I would like to. Therefore, there is a set up I came up with.

MSI Geforce GTX 770 Gaming Edition 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £247.99
Intel Core i5-4670K 3.40GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail £185.99
ASRock Z87 PRO4 Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard £113.99
BitFenix Ghost Silent Tower Case - Black £77.95
OCZ ZS Series 650W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £59.99
TeamGroup Vulcan RED 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (TLD38G1600HC9DC01) £59.99
Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (ST1000DM003) HDD £47.99
OcUK 24x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM £19.99

Shipping : £11.25

Total : £827.38

My budget would be £850 or lower. I do have OS, SSD, screen, mouse, keyboard and speakers from previous set up. Resolution I will play on is 1920×1080:)

My concerns: I will probably not OC this set up, therefore I could go for CPU w/o "K", however would this be easier to sell after few years? I am also not sure about the choice of Mobo? Advice appreciated:) Any other suggested set up would be also nice, however I would like to stay with NVidia GPU.

Thanks for your participation and thoughts.

You may aswell get a K chip incase you change your mind, I did! :)

The Motherboard also comes with a free aftermarket cooler for overclocking, silly good value. :)

Enjoy your new system. :D
Any problems, you know where to find us.
 
That will be a lot of extra £'s though as you'd need a CPU cooler (to keep noise down and allow overclocking) and a bigger PSU (to allow for 2 cards, I'd say its a good £70+ more.

• The UD3H is much stronger than the G45 and includes a free mouse which is a nice value add addition;)

• The case has red or blue illumination.

• The 280X beats a GTX770 in BF4,
