Hey guys I'm looking to start a new build in the coming weeks and i've done a rough spec of this which has led me to this.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i5-4670K 3.40GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail £197.99
1 x ASRock Z87 EXTREME6/AC Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard £187.99
1 x Corsair Professional Series AX 760W '80 Plus Platinum' Modular Power Supply (CP-9020045-UK) £149.99
1 x Corsair Vengeance Pro Silver 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Memory Kit (CMY16GX3M2A1600C9) £129.95
1 x Samsung 120GB SSD 840 SATA 6Gb/s Basic - (MZ-7TD120BW) £83.99
1 x Phanteks PH-TC14PE CPU Cooler - Blue (Socket 775 / 1150 / 1155 / 1156 / 1366 / 2011 / AM2 / AM2+ / AM3 / FM1 / FM2) £69.98
Total : £831.89 (includes shipping : £10.00).



As you may notice I'm lacking a GPU, Case and Disk drive. I already have a disk drive and am getting the case elsewhere, none in stock :(, however I'm unsure if on the GPU I should be getting. Should i be going for two to SLI/Crossfire, is the difference notable??
Also would it be beneficial to add a second SSD for my games? I already have a 1tb drive from my current rig.

And on another note which OS should I be using??

Thanks for the help guys
