Is there anything that you feel could be improved upon without compromising on price? The component I am most confused on is the motherboard. I was not sure on the pros/cons of 970 / 990x. I do want to try and futureproof this computer for as long as possible.
Regards.

I believe this 970 motherboard has Xfire support. However, would a 990x offer improved speed to the second graphics card if this was applicable.
Regards , I appreciate your feedback

 

[Wodgy]

Thank you. I may think of adding another GPU in the future as time progresses.
One more question. Would you say my choice of motherboard is a good choice? As the range of AMD boards is slimmer compared to intel.
Sorry for questioning all this. I just want to be right with my choices as this is quite a lot of money.
Regards.

Thank you. I would like an Intel build within that budget but I don't really want to sacrifice on the GPU. Really can't push it to that price. I can afford it. But I am already pushing it with my fiance by increasing from £550 (originally) to £630ish hehe.
Regards.
