So my dad has asked me to build him a gaming PC for around £600-£700.
Here are some components i have picked out. I do not need Os or peripherals

Intel Core i5-4690K 3.50GHz (Devil's Canyon) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail

Asus GeForce GTX 760 DirectCUII OC 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card

Gigabyte Z97X-SLI Intel Z97 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard

Corsair Carbide Series Air 240 High Airflow PC Case - Black (CC-9011070-WW)

TeamGroup Vulcan RED 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-19200C11 2400MHz Dual Channel Kit (TLRED38G2400HC11CDC01)

SuperFlower Golden Green HX 450W "80 Plus Gold" Power Supply - Black

Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (ST2000DM001) HDD

£693 Overall

However i am not 100% sure if they will work together or if i need to add anything else i.e Fans.
Thank you in advance

Close, the case is Micro-Atx so won't fit the board, however the Corsair 540 will.
Everything else seems spot on, would probably change the GPU as the 760 is quite weak.

Also try to get an SSD in there.

Are there any better GPU's that you would recommend that would stick to budget?

Also get the 550W PSU.

Finally you get free delivery on that PSU+Case (not sure if it applies to the whole order)

760 GTX isn't a weak card at all. It's still a decent mid range card happily playing games @1080p.

forgo overclocking and get a 780?

YOUR BASKET
1 x Asus H81M-K Intel Core i5 DIY Micro ATX Motherboard, CPU & RAM Bundle £219.97
1 x KFA2 GeForce GTX 780 3072MB PCI-Express Graphics Card - OEM (78XNH5DN9IST) £193.99
1 x Crucial MX100 256GB SATA 2.5” 7mm SSD + 9.5mm Adapter (CT256MX100SSD1) £79.99
1 x Corsair Carbide Series Air 240 High Airflow PC Case - White (CC-9011069-WW) £69.95
1 x SuperFlower Golden Green HX 550W "80 Plus Gold" Power Supply - Black £53.99
1 x Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (ST1000DM003) HDD £39.95
Total : £667.44 (includes shipping : £8.00).

a i5 + 780 would last longer on a build (specs-wise) compared to a i5k + 760 before needing to be upgraded imo
