Hi, I'm building my mates 14 year old son a pc for xmas and have a max budget of £800, don't need peripherals or monitor.
I'm only use o buying high end stuff so am struggling with a few bits. It's aimed at gaming so ideally I want a gtx970 in it or maybe a 380x now?
I'm considering a i3-4170 (haswell) cpu or i3 6300 (skylane) would this be too slow for the Gfx card and unsure what motherboard to get as wont be overclocking.
It needs a wireless card and needs to be a bit flashy/blingy as he is 14, not over the top though.
Gfx power takes most importance.

Thanks in advance.
 
Thanks for everyone's help. Nearly got the right system. Deffo want a 970 in it but then struggling to get a decent clu also, may have to settle for a 380x instead, would a 500w psu be enough?
