Hey! I need to get a new computer as my old one is just out-dated, I'm a gamer who plays games frequently so this computer is purely for gaming.

My budget is around £500 maybe more but 100% no more than £600

I do not want any AMD cpu's, only intel, preferably the i5 2500k & only nvidia geforce cards.

Ty!
 
£578

@OP don't get the above, the H77 limits your potential overclocking, the ASrock board also has just a two year warranty and you have to ship it abroad after the first year.

Gigabyte have a 3 year warranty and a UK based RMA center:)

Bacons suggestion looks solid:)
 
Why?
In a mid size case you really want a modular PSU also the Z7-D3H is a great motherboard, I happen to own it. Only reason you would want an ASUS is for slightly easier to use BIOS but thats not worth it.

Also OP have fun with the build :)

I was wondering, how much extra would it be to get 12GB of good ram.
