Looking to spend around £1000, will be primary for gaming BF4, ArmA 3 and the usual PC stuff with the aim of being powerful yet quiet as possible!

Intend to reuse a Crucial 128GB SSD and my Asus Xonar D2 I have already but replace everything else. No need for a CD Drive or to change the case as I have my heart set on it :)

Case - Fractal R4 Window Black

Not a bad spec, made a few changes to get you some good bang for buck performance.

Why would you recommend the GPU, Mobo and PSU over what I have chosen? :)

The GPU is awesome (I have the 670 version of that cooler), you can't even hear the thing once you tweak the fan curve using MSI afterburner or something to around 30-40%, temperatures are amazing with it.

The mobo you chosen is just way overkill in my opinion, you don't need that.

Seasonic are boss, best PSU guys around.

I can get onboard with a Seasonic PSU, I see them recommended a lot round here. Is there any particular reason why? I kind of want to keep that Mobo as it has built in Wifi and is black so will look good once its bolted into the case but feel free to recommend something else :) Would you say the Windforce is quieter and cooler than the IceQ?
 
Thanks, I might pick up the Avexir RAM instead. I will admit I'm drawn by the LEDs :P You persuaded me with the PSU and GPU also so thanks! Is there anything else I should be recommended? :)
